Iced coffee

I can still remember my mum making me and my sisters iced coffees when we were studying for our end-of-year school exams. I’m sure it was the caffeine and sugary ice cream that got us through!

Ingredients

Iced coffee
  • 750 millilitre cold espresso (strong plunger coffee is best)
  • ice cubes
  • 400 millilitre milk
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 100 millilitre cream, whipped with 2 tbsp caster sugar
  • cinnamon, for dusting

Method

Iced coffee
  • 1
    Pour cold espresso into tall glasses, add ice cubes, then top with milk.
  • 2
    Add a scoop of ice cream to each glass, momentarily pushing the ice-cream ball down so it submerges in the liquid – this gives it a nice coating of coffee and milk.
  • 3
    Top with whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure the coffee is very strong and has cooled completely. You can make it a day ahead or get into the habit of draining leftover coffee from the plunger into a jug – store it in the fridge for when you’re craving an iced coffee on a hot afternoon.
