How to Make a Strawberry Cream Iced Coffee
Step 1: Prepare Your Strawberry Base
Start by adding 2 tablespoons of strawberry puree to the bottom of your favourite glass.
*Don’t have strawberry puree? No problem! Simply blend fresh strawberries until smooth. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
Step 2: Add Ice & Coffee
Fill your glass with ice, then slowly pour your chilled Rescue Coffee Co. coffee over top.
Pouring the coffee slowly creates those beautiful layers and helps keep your drink perfectly chilled.
Step 3: Add the Creamy Finish
Top your iced coffee with sweet cream or vanilla cold foam.
As you stir everything together, the strawberry, coffee, and cream blend into a smooth and refreshing drink with every sip.
Step 4: Enjoy!
Add a fresh strawberry on top for the perfect finishing touch, grab your favourite mug or glass, and enjoy your homemade café-style coffee.
Tips for the Perfect Iced Coffee at Home ☕
Brew Your Coffee Slightly Stronger
When coffee is poured over ice, the melting ice can slightly dilute the flavour. Brewing your coffee a little stronger helps maintain that rich coffee taste.
Use Chilled Coffee
For the smoothest iced coffee, allow your coffee to cool completely before pouring over ice. Cold brew is also a great option because it creates a naturally smooth, low-acidity coffee base.
Make Your Own Cold Foam
You can easily create cold foam at home by blending or frothing cream with a splash of vanilla syrup until light and creamy.
Prep Ahead
Make your strawberry puree ahead of time and store it in the fridge so you can enjoy a delicious iced coffee whenever the craving hits.
Make It Your Own
The best part about making coffee at home is adding your own personal touch.
Try these delicious variations:
🍓 Strawberry Vanilla Latte: Add more cream and vanilla for a sweeter, dessert-inspired drink.
🥥 Dairy-Free Strawberry Iced Coffee: Use coconut cream, oat milk, or almond milk instead of sweet cream.
🍫 Chocolate Strawberry Coffee: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a chocolate-covered strawberry twist.
🧊 Frozen Strawberry Coffee: Blend the ingredients with ice for a refreshing coffee smoothie-style drink.
