Decaf Ice Coffee – you need just 1 minute to prepare homemade decaf ice coffee with this instant, no cook method.
It is the end of August and it may seem a little late to post a recipe for iced coffee when summer is about to end. I planned to post it a month ago, but at that time my site had some technical difficulties (as I explained in my last post) so I had to postpone it until now. On the other hand, in a global world of the internet, it may seem just right time for a recipe like this for the upcoming summer in the Southern Hemisphere 🙂
If you have ever wondered how to make decaf ice coffee, I’m glad to tell you that it is super simple. I use decaffeinated instant coffee granules which allow me to prepare the coffee in a minute. First I dissolve coffee granules in warm water, then add sugar and cold water and pour over ice cubes in a tall glass. If you like, you can add some vanilla, chocolate, caramel or any other flavoring. Now pour some milk or cream or even condensed milk into it and your Decaf Ice Coffee is finished!
For the first time in my blogging history, I made a little animated gif to show you how good it looks when you add milk or cream to your iced coffee:
Cool, isn’t it?

This was delicious! I did substitute the sugar, vanilla, and milk with 1/2 c. of Natural Bliss Vanilla Oat milk Creamer though.
Thank you! I’ve been wanting a good iced coffee recipe.
Ana, thanks for the suggestion. I will try this, as I can’t do lactose or much dairy.
