The Best Iced Coffee Recipe on the Hottest Day of the Year
When it’s way too hot to function and even thinking about a hot coffee makes you sweat… It’s iced coffee time.
I’m talking about that cool, creamy, properly strong kind of iced coffee that feels like aircon for your soul. Whether you’re chilling in the garden, stuck in traffic, or hiding inside with the fan on full blast, this is the coffee that’s going to get you through it.
What You’ll Need
- Jumbo Jet Espresso (or any strong brew you’ve got)
- A load of ice (the more the better)
- Milk of your choice (dairy, oat, almond – go wild)
- 1 tsp sugar or sweetener (if you like it sweet)
- Optional: splash of vanilla esscence or cinnamon for a little flair
- A shaker or jar with a lid
- A tall glass – you’re gonna want to see those layers
How to Make It
-
Brew It Strong
Get two shots of Jumbo Jet Espresso on the go. Let it cool for a bit (or stick it in the fridge/freezer if you're impatient – no judgment). -
Shake It Like You Mean It
Throw your coffee, ice, sugar, and any extras (vanilla? yes. cinnamon? also yes) into a shaker or jar. Shake hard until it’s super cold and a bit frothy. -
Pour It Up
Fill a glass with fresh ice, pour in your coffee mix, top it off with milk. Swirl it, sip it, love it. -
Level Up (Optional but Elite)
Freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes so your drink stays strong, not watery. It’s a game-changer.
Where to Drink It
- Out in the sun pretending you’re on holiday
- In the cockpit of your car before takeoff
- At your desk, dreaming of somewhere cooler
Why This Hits Different
Jet Bean’s Jumbo Jet Espresso is made for moments like this. It’s smooth, rich, and packs enough punch to survive all that ice without losing flavour. Basically: iced coffee, but make it properly good.
Final Thoughts
Some days are just too hot for anything complicated. This iced coffee’s easy, quick, and honestly... kind of essential. It’s how we stay cool when everything else is melting.
Stay chill,
