Iced Coffee Recipe
I’m not going to try to make you do anything complicated with this Iced Coffee Recipe. I want things to be EASY and SIMPLE, especially in the morning. I am NOT a morning person, and coffee is something I need right away to even be pleasant to those around me.
Even though we aren’t going to be doing anything super stressful, I’m also not going to let you use chilled brewed coffee. We are better than that, come on!
Homemade Cold Brew Coffee
This Cold Brew Coffee Recipe is as simple as letting your favorite coffee grounds soak in water overnight, straining in the morning, and then mixing with our favorite perfect homemade creamer.
You can use as little or as much as you want, to make this Iced Coffee exactly how you like it. You can keep the creamer and cold brew separate in the fridge and enjoy every morning. Sounds awesome, right?
Easy Iced Coffee Recipe
You can pour over ice or make coffee ice cubes (just freeze brewed coffee in cute ice cube trays and you’re in business!) and you’re ready to rock any day.
Our creamer is an amazing mixture of half and half (milk and cream) and sweetened condensed milk. SHHHHHH! Don’t tell anyone. It can be our little secret.
It’s SO GOOD, creamy, and just the right touch of sweetness. Apart from the sweetened creamer, we aren’t going to add any extra sugar or sweetener to this coffee. Awesome, right?

Looks amazing!
How long does the black coffee keep in the fridge?
I would say about 3-4 days!
During the winter when I make a full pot of coffee, and it doesn’t all get used, I pour it into ice cube trays, freeze it and store the cubes in ziploc bags till summer. Then use those coffee cubes instead of plain water, so as they melt you keep drinking coffee instead of watered down coffee. I do the same with tea.
That’s such a great tip!!
Is the 8 oz of coffee grounds in weight? Or dry volume (8 oz = 1 cup)?
Why make iced coffee and then add regular ice cubes? I make a full pot of chocolate flavoured coffee and allow it to go cold. I then pour it into ice cube trays and freeze it. It makes 5 full trays of ice cubes. Then when you have your iced coffee it never dilutes into watery dregs at the end. I do the same thing when I make iced tea.
What is the best brand of coffee that you would recommend for this?
Wouldn’t it be easier to put the grounds in a filter and swaddle them in cheesecloth and leave that in the water overnight?
Want to try this recipe but am confused. Your directions call for coffee grounds but the video looks like you are using coffee beans. Is it grounds or beans? Thanks for the directions….can’t wait to try.
Hey! I’m so sorry…that’s an error in the video that I’m actually having redone. You use GROUNDS, not beans. SO sorry for the confusion! Thanks for saying something :)
Also, dark roast has WAY less caffeine than light roast. FYI! =)
Where is the video to this besides on YouTube? I need some videos on cold brew and ice coffee alone with the recipes to post on FB. Other recipes I see on FB doesn’t come from YT and it gives a link to this site.
I haven’t posted this video except on youtube and the blog :) Have a great night!
Just in time for it to start getting warm out. I’m trying this!
Exactly! I ordered my first iced coffee of the season last week and knew it was time to learn!
