Today's post is super quick, super simple and perfect for anyone who loves a caffeine-infused pick me up. I know we are fast approaching winter and I should be favouring warm drinks like hot chocolate but I love an iced coffee and so I wanted to find a way to create these at home for a fraction of the price of fancy coffee shops. When I looked online for recipes and ideas they mostly seemed to use coffee beans that are brewed overnight but if like me you are a little lazy this seems like quite a bit of effort. I decided to find a way to create an instant iced coffee that's also dairy free.

Ingredients 

Instant Coffee (my favourite is the Nescafe Gold Crema)

Sugar (optional)

Flavoured Syrup (optional but recommended)

Milk or your favourite dairy-free alternative

Ice

Recipe

Start by adding a heaped teaspoon of your favourite instant coffee to a glass.
The measurements I'm giving are to suit my taste but you can alter all of these to suit your own preferences.
Next, add sugar, I usually have one teaspoon as I also add syrup which helps to sweeten the coffee.
Add just enough boiling water to the bottom of your glass to dissolve the coffee.
Next, you can add flavoured syrups, I have Caramel and Hazelnut and I usually add two teaspoons, these really make your coffee taste more like those fancy overpriced ones.


Fill your glass up with milk or dairy-free alternative leaving enough space for ice, stir everything up and enjoy!
