What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup of strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to your preference)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream for topping
- Chocolate syrup or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Step 1: Brew a Strong Cup of Coffee
The first step in making a cold cappuccino is brewing a strong cup of coffee. Use your preferred method of brewing and make sure it’s a strong brew to maintain the bold flavors even when mixed with milk and ice. Allow the coffee to cool to room temperature before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Prepare Your Milk
In a separate container, pour the milk of your choice. If you prefer a creamier cappuccino, you can use whole milk or choose a plant-based option like almond or oat milk. Add the sugar to the milk and stir until it dissolves completely.
Step 3: Mix Coffee and Milk
Once your coffee has cooled and your milk is ready, pour the coffee into the milk mixture. Stir well to combine the flavors. If you prefer a sweeter cappuccino, you can add more sugar at this stage and stir again.
Step 4: Add Ice Cubes
Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the coffee and milk mixture over them. The ice will help chill the cappuccino and create a refreshing beverage. If desired, you can give it a quick stir to ensure everything is well mixed.
Step 5: Top it Off and Serve
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of your cold cappuccino for an extra creamy touch. For some extra indulgence, drizzle chocolate syrup or sprinkle cocoa powder on top. Serve your cold cappuccino immediately and enjoy!
