Simple Homemade Iced Latte Recipe

Iced coffees were my main source of cash outflow during my summer semesters at uni. No, I don’t even think that’s a serious exaggeration (wow, I spelled that word right from the first try!), just ask my friends! Now that I have graduated and moved back to the country side, the closest decent iced latte I can find is a half hour drive away. Add to that the fact that a parking ticket in the city is more expensive than the coffee itself and you know it’s a problem. A serious one in my case.

We got to enjoy a few beautiful sunny days last week and as my cravings for a cold brew grew stronger, I decided to try and see if I could make some at home. Below you’ll find a list of things that I personally pour into my blender to fill up a single one of my mason jars. Some of my friends like theirs with a little more espresso or a little more milk, so you can easily play with the ingredients and make your coffee to taste. If you’re a bit of a sweet tooth and like your coffees with sugar, you can easily add some to taste before blending or as I like to do for my sweetest friends: add a bit of caramel or vanilla syrup! I love  love love Illy’s coffee syrups, but Monin is a slightly more affordable brand that I currently have in the house.
