I love my coffee, especially in the mornings when I need a kickstart to my day. However, during the hot summer months, a piping hot cup of coffee is not exactly what I crave. That’s when iced coffee comes to my rescue. And the best part is that I can easily make it at home using Nescafe sachets. In this article, I will share with you my favorite recipe for making refreshing iced coffee with Nescafe sachets. So let’s dive in and discover how to create this delightful DIY beverage.
Gather Your Ingredients
Before we start, let’s make sure we have all the necessary ingredients to make our iced coffee. To make this recipe, you will need the following:
1. Nescafe sachets – You can choose your favorite flavor. I personally love the classic Nescafe Original sachets.
2. Water – Approximately 300ml, preferably cold but room temperature will also work.
3. Ice cubes – About 7 to 8 pieces, depending on your preference.
4. Milk – Any type of milk will work – be it regular, almond, soy, or any other you prefer.
5. Sugar or sweetener – Optional and according to taste.
6. Whipped cream and chocolate syrup – For a fancy touch (optional).
A Simple Step-by-Step Guide
Now that we have all the ingredients, let’s move on to the step-by-step process of making our delicious iced coffee using Nescafe sachets.
Step 1: Prepare the Nescafe Coffee
Start by emptying one Nescafe sachet into a glass or a cup. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add another sachet. Next, pour in about 100ml of hot water and stir it well until all the coffee granules dissolve completely. This step is essential to ensure that your coffee is flavorful and robust.
Step 2: Sweeten It Up (Optional)
If you have a sweet tooth like me, you can add sugar or your preferred sweetener into the coffee mixture. This step is entirely optional, and you can skip it if you prefer your coffee without any additional sweetness. Stir well until the sweetener dissolves completely.
Step 3: Add Milk
Once your coffee is ready, add approximately 100ml of milk into the mixture, or adjust it according to your preference. Give it a good stir, ensuring that the coffee and milk are well combined. This step will give your iced coffee a creamy and rich texture.
Step 4: Cool It Down
Now it’s time to chill your coffee. You can either place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour or proceed to the next step and cool it instantly with ice cubes.
Step 5: Ice, Ice, Baby!
To cool down your coffee quickly, add 7 to 8 ice cubes into the glass. The ice cubes will not only lower the temperature but also dilute the coffee slightly, creating the perfect balance of flavors. Give it a gentle stir to distribute the coldness evenly.
Step 6: Get Creative (Optional)
At this point, you can get creative and add a touch of indulgence to your iced coffee. Top it off with some whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. This step will elevate your iced coffee and transform it into a delightful treat.
Enjoy Your Homemade Iced Coffee!
Voila! Your homemade iced coffee is now ready to be enjoyed. Take a moment to savor the refreshing flavors and appreciate the fact that you made it all by yourself. It’s a simple yet satisfying DIY delight that can be prepared in just a few minutes.
Feel free to experiment and personalize your iced coffee according to your taste preferences. You can add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. If you prefer a stronger coffee kick, consider using espresso sachets instead of regular Nescafe sachets.
So the next time you find yourself craving a cool and invigorating coffee beverage, remember that you can easily create your own with Nescafe sachets. No need to spend extra money at coffee shops or wait in long queues. With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, you can make your very own delightful iced coffee at home. So go ahead, give it a try, and enjoy your refreshing cup of homemade joy!
