Calories: 8kcal
Ingredients
- 240 ml brewed coffee cooled completely
- 1 g ground cardamom about ¼ tsp
- 10–15 g sugar to taste (2–3 tsp)
- Ice cubes as needed
- 60 ml milk or cream to top (¼ cup)
Instructions
- Brew the coffee and let it cool completely (or use cold brew).
- In a glass or small pitcher, stir together the coffee, ground cardamom, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
- Top with milk or cream and stir gently.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use freshly ground cardamom for the best aroma.
- If your coffee is still warm, let it cool fully before pouring over ice so it doesn’t water down too much.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste or skip the sugar if you prefer it unsweetened.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract.
- Use your favorite plant-based milk if you prefer it dairy-free.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom on top.
Recipe Twist Ideas:
- Chai Iced Coffee: Add a pinch of cinnamon and ginger along with the cardamom.
- Coconut Cardamom Iced Coffee: Use chilled coconut milk for a tropical flavor.
- Honey Sweetened: Swap sugar for a spoon of honey for a softer sweetness.
- Cardamom Mocha: Stir in a teaspoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey touch.
- Frozen Version: Blend everything with ice to make a cardamom coffee frappe.
