  • 6 cups hot water
  • 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the hot water in a heat‑proof pitcher.

Tips & Substitutions

For a stronger coffee flavor, consider using espresso powder instead of instant coffee granules. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk according to your taste. For a dairy-free version, try coconut cream or almond milk as substitutes. Experiment with flavored syrups for added depth, pairing nicely with a slice of Zucchini Bread(The Best).

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Sweet 'N' Creamy Iced Coffee in tall glasses, garnished with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an indulgent touch. It pairs beautifully with pastries or breakfast items like Rich Rolls Or Bread for a delightful morning treat. Consider adding a dash of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover iced coffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy it chilled again, serve over fresh ice, as reheating may alter the texture. If the coffee separates, simply stir before serving. Avoid freezing, as it can affect the consistency.
