No coffee maker, but still craving iced coffee? Trust me, I’ve been there. During summer, I can’t imagine starting my day with any kind of hot drink. My husband and I were thrilled when I discovered this no-brew iced coffee recipe. I’m using a secret ingredient that will give you the fastest iced coffee ever – no coffee maker needed, and no compromise on flavor!
When we moved, I treated myself to an espresso machine that lets me make fancy cappuccinos each morning. I saw no sense in having a coffee maker and an espresso machine, so I got rid of our old coffee maker. But I didn’t account for one very important fact…That I love my iced coffees in the hot summer!
And since I don’t have a coffee maker, I can’t keep a big jug of double-strength coffee in the fridge anymore. So, when I had the chance to test the new Folgers Iced Café concentrates, I couldn’t pass it up – the timing was perfect since I was looking for a solution until the heat starts to die down.
What attracted me the most is how fast I can make a cup. My husband and I have tried each flavor, and my favorites are vanilla and caramel macchiato and his go-to is hazelnut.
☕ Ingredients
✅Folgers Iced Café – It’s so tasty and I am sure you will have a favorite as well.
✅Coconut Milk Coffee Creamer – I can’t get enough coconut milk coffee creamer. It’s great for people who are trying to minimize dairy in their diets.
✅Stevia – Sweeten the iced coffee with some stevia if needed.
✅Almond Milk – A little bit of almond milk keeps it nice and creamy, just the way we like it. YUM!
✅Whipped Cream – Optional (for serving).
You might wonder why I use both almond milk and coconut milk coffee creamer. I love this combo! I use the coconut milk creamer for that rich, velvety, coffee-shop flavor, and then I use the almond milk as the main base to keep the drink light and refreshing (and not too heavy!).
🥛 Instructions
👉Step 1: Add the coconut coffee creamer to a glass. Then add in the Folgers Iced Cafe. Give it a quick stir.
👉Step 2: Add ice and drizzle almond milk on top. Give it a swirl to gently combine the ingredients. Top with your favorite whipped cream and a little dash of cinnamon.
📌 Expert Tips
And when I’m having a cup later on in the day, I’m prone to play pretend-barista and whip out my milk frother (best money I’ve spent!) to make them resemble coffee shop drinks.
So far I’ve used whole milk, almond milk, half and half and coconut milk coffee creamer to coffee-shop-up my lattes. They all worked great!
🔄 Variations
🔹Make it a mocha. Drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass before you pour, and top with whipped cream.
🔹Salted caramel iced coffee. Use the Caramel Macchiato concentrate and add a tiny pinch of sea salt with your creamer.
🔹Make it hot. On a chilly day, just add the concentrate and creamer to a mug of warmed (not boiled!) almond milk. It’s a perfect 2-minute hot latte!
❓ FAQ
Yep! You will save tons of money by making these at home. Ordering from fancy coffee shops can lead to spending $5 – $7 for just one drink at that adds up quickly.
Yes, you sure can. I recommend skipping the ice until you are ready to actually drink it. But the rest can be combined and stored in the fridge for 1-2 days. Give it a shake and add some ice and toppings before drinking.
If you’re an iced coffee drinker, I’d love to hear which flavor you like the most!
