  How do you make iced coffee? 

  It is easy, really. All you need is a tall glass filled with your favorite coffee granules, add sugar, then whip it up using your milk frother! Add the ice and some vanilla syrup for extra oof!

  Should you add sugar? 

  If you’re after a sweet kick, then definitely, yes. However, if you really want to feel the “Starbucks” vibe, it’s worth adding the sugary element in through syrup form (like vanilla or hazelnut syrup), especially if you’re adding it directly into cold coffee. Keep in mind that standard sugar granules won’t dissolve easily. If you want to use proper sugar, then dissolve it into your hot water beforehand.  

  Fresh ground beans or instant coffee? 

  To tell you honestly, freshly ground coffee beans always taste better. But we’re not coffee snobs. So, if you’re in a rush or you need that caffeine fixed ASAP, there’s nothing wrong with using instant coffee. 

  Can you put add-ons? 

  Anything, really! You can add your spin to your coffee. If you’re looking for something sweet, add a drop of vanilla, chocolate, or caramel syrup. You could even amplify things with a spoonful of ice cream! Vanilla ice cream is the bomb! Check out what Sonya (@sonya_and_savory) did!

  To make sure your iced coffee doesn’t turn out to be a cold watery mess, try to double down the amount of coffee you’re using. Or, if you like, make your own coffee ice cubes. Simply make a batch of coffee, allow to cool and pour in an ice tray and freeze.  

  Love iced coffee as much as we do? What are you waiting for? Go, try it now!
