What you will need to make frozen coffee cubes
Coffee: this can be instant coffee, espresso or ground coffee of choice Water: hot water if using instant coffee or brewing ground coffee. Filtered water if using cold brew Sweetener of choice: any type of sugar works for the recipe. If you would prefer not to have sugar in the coffee cubes then a simple homemade vanilla syrup would be best as it dissolves easily into the iced beverage.
How to make coffee ice cubes step by step
Make the coffee: add 2 tablespoons of coffee to a mug or a heatproof glass, add 100 ml of hot water to dissolve the granules. Then top with 200ml cold water or enough to make 2 cups of coffee. Leave to cool. Alternatively, brew your coffee as you would normally if using ground coffee Add sugar to sweeten at the point you added the hot water and stir until dissolved. This is important before moving on to the nest stage. Pour the cooled brewed coffee into ice cube trays and freeze for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. When ready to use, remove the ice cubes from the ice trays, add to a coffee glass or mug of choice, top with your favorite milk, sugar syrup, and stir to combine. Drink and enjoy!
Tip
Run the ice trays under warm water for a few seconds to make them easy to release from the tray. Alternatively, use a silicone ice tray, the iced cubes pop out easily with no restraints.
