The Best Iced Tea And Iced Coffee Recipes

our cold brews don't costa fortune

We all love a nice cuppa to warm us up in winter, but it’s not as refreshing when the mercury hits 30°C. So, our iced coffee recipes are an ideal alternative. We wouldn’t want you missing out on your daily caffeine fix just because the weather’s nice. And by making our iced tea and coffee yourself, you may save a quid (or fifty!) by avoiding your local coffee shop.

What is iced tea?

Stop. Collaborate and listen. Modern Milkman is back with a brand new suggestion: Iced, Iced Tea! Iced tea is especially popular during the summer months as a refreshing and sweet alternative to hot tea. You can have your iced tea in a number of ways while you catch some rays, depending on what suits you. Whether you prefer green tea, herbal tea, or flavoured teas, you’ll love them even more chilled. 

What is iced coffee?

Ah, iced coffee. It’s like regular coffee’s hip and refreshing cousin, perfect for those sunny days or when you need a zing of chilled, sippable energy. To make it your own, why not add a splash of creamy milk, a drizzle of sweet syrup, or even a swirl of velvety whipped cream? The world really is your oyster (or in this case, saucer!) If you’re craving a refreshing pick-me-up, iced coffee should be your go-to. 

Iced coffee recipe

Our iced coffee recipe couldn’t be any easier to follow! Pick up the three ingredients and follow these two steps – yes, two!

Ingredients:

Method:

  1. 1. Make a 200ml cup of fresh ground coffee and allow it to go completely cold.  
  2. 2. Pour into a blender with fresh milk and two or three handfuls of ice, then blend until smooth and foamy. Pour into a tall glass, don your dayglow shorts and enjoy!

Iced tea recipe

Iced tea is equally as simple to follow as the iced coffee recipe. Though it has a few more ingredients, the steps are minimal. Give it a try!

Ingredients:

  • – 6 tea bags 
  • – 2 tbsp runny honey 
  • – 1 juiced lemon 
  • – Small bunch mint 
  • – Ice

Method:

  1. 1. Put the tea bags, honey and 1.5 litres of water in a large jug. Leave to infuse for 10 mins, then remove and discard the tea bags 
  2. 2. Stir in the lemon juice and mint leaves, fill the jug with plenty of ice and stir again. Pour into a tall glass, don your shades and enjoy!
