Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup hot brewed coffee strong and aromatic
• 2 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
• 2 cups ice cubes preferably crushed or small pieces
• 0.5 cup milk dairy or plant-based

Equipment

• Coffee Maker or Espresso Machine
• Blender

Method

 

1. Brew a cup of strong coffee and pour it into a mixing container to cool slightly. Stir in the sugar while the coffee is still warm to ensure it dissolves completely.
2. Prepare your blender by adding the ice cubes to its container.
3. Pour the cooled, sweetened coffee over the ice in the blender.
4. Add the milk to the blender, which helps create a smoother, creamier texture and balances the coffee flavor.
5. Blend on high speed until the mixture is thick, icy, and well combined, about 30-40 seconds. The texture should be smooth and slushy, with tiny ice crystals evident.
6. Stop the blender and check the consistency; if it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and pulse a few seconds more.
7. Pour the coffee slushie into glasses, allowing it to mound slightly and show off its icy, frosty appearance.
8. Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a swirl of whipped cream if desired, then serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use espresso or strong brewed coffee. Adjust the sweetness to your preference, and enjoy immediately for the best icy texture.
