If you’re a coffee person, you know nothing can start the day like a strong cup of well brewed coffee. From espresso to Americano, cappuccino to frappe, or a Vietnamese blend to mocha; the options are plenty when you want variety in your morning brew. However, summer means switching up your hot brews with iced options that leave you feeling refreshed for a day out.
Get creative with your coffee brew as you try unique blends, brews, and recipes, that are anything but basic at home itself!

Basic but always delicious! For those who prefer to stick to traditional flavours, this one offers a fine twist on a hot summer day. All you need is a shot of freshly brewed coffee, vanilla flavoured soy or almond milk, whipped cream and a dash of brown sugar. Top it with whipped cream icing sugar and some toffee crunch for sweetness.
On days when you’re bored of the same cold coffee flavour, it’s time to get a little experimental! We suggest trying a maple iced coffee. Creative, aesthetic, yum, this cold brew recipe is everything a millennial’s Instagram feed wants! Replace sugar with maple syrup and blend it all together with oodles of ice.
Iced coffee with a dollop of condensed milk? Yes, it tastes as good as it sounds. With the right amount of sweetness, it’s one of the simplest brew recipes. All you need to do is switch up the milk with a more delicious option. On days when you don’t feel like having an iced americano, a Vietnamese cold brew is a great alternative.
Similar to the Mocha Frappe except with a twist of salted caramel, if you’re someone who likes your coffee sweeter, this blend is worth trying. It also works as the ultimate dessert when you’re craving something sweet.
Looking for a decadent blend of cream, milk and chocolate? The Mocha Frappe will have your heart. For a healthier option, you can even substitute regular milk with oat or almond milk. A refreshing drink to beat the heat.
For those days when you want something fancy, an iced latter with Boba is as theatrical as it gets. This cold brew recipe is fun and surprising. Brew yourself some cold brew overnight, fill a cup with crystal boba and ice. Pour the milk, and top it off with your coffee, and viola you have magic in a glass!
