The “traditional” recipe for this kind of creamy, iced coffee is to blend together 2 Tbsp instant coffee, 2 Tbsp hot water, and 2 Tbsp sugar. You then spoon this on top of milk & ice. When I tried this recipe, I found it far too sweet. I’m also not a fan of instant coffee. Here’s a recipe that I came up with using espresso & less sweetener. I definitely prefer the taste, and I hope you love it too!

  2. Looks great for a morning pick me up. Personally, I’m going with a “sweetner-free” option as I can’t stand the aftertaste of faux sugars. Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday!
