Iced Coffee (vegan)

Iced Coffee recipe a refreshing drink filled with strong and bold flavors! Both lime and coffee equally have their own taste, aroma and flavor. The combination is unusual but they taste great together. I know people who love or hate this drink. But people who love coffee would surely fall for this drink and love them 😉 This drink is good for vegans too.

We love iced tea home and I am fond of coffee too. Especially coffee drinks like cold coffee, coffee frappe, filter coffee, cafe late, espresso, cappuccino, chocolate coffee, mocha coffee any kind of drinks made from coffee. My hubby isn’t fond of tea or coffee except iced tea. So I made this drink only for me and sipped all by myself.

This drink is regular at my place make some for my friends and guest too. They all have mixed reaction only people addicted to coffee mostly love this drink. So you got to try yourself to find out if it’s for you or not.

The only challenge is how would you balance lime and coffee both. Also you got to add slightly more sugar as due to presence of strong flavors the sweetness gets subdued. Secondly use instant espresso powder for instant coffee. However I have used coffee powder grounded at home. I have boiled with water then strained and sieved them on a linen cloth. Discarded the leftover and used the remaining syrup. Prefer strong coffee flavor hence like to boil as the impact is much stronger.

In my hey days of working have spent a lot of time in cafes near office. Not working in cafes but whiling away time and having fun with friends. Guess my love for coffee started growing from there. Always used to love the various kind of coffee with whipped cream, various patterns etc garnished over the coffee. Coffee glass or cup used to be so adorable then.

Let’s make iced coffee recipe step-wise:

1. Microwave water for a minute with coffee powder. Alternatively you could boil water with coffee.

2. Cover and leave for 30 mins aside. Now strain them over a linen or muslin cloth and discard the leftover.

3. Your coffee syrup would look something like this.

4. Again microwave or warm water for a minute. Add sugar stir until it gets dissolved. I don’t have a pic for this one.

5. Now squeeze lime juice in the warm water. Strain or sieve this on a cloth or strainer. Allow both the mixture to cool down.

6. Take the serving glasses add sugar cubes till half glass is filled.

7. Add 2 tbsp of the coffee syrup.

8. Fill the rest of glass with lime-sugar-water syrup.

9. Garnish with lime wedges it’s optional. Stir with a stirrer. Serve your iced coffee chilled with your favorite brownie or sandwich.
