Easy Thai Iced Coffee
Description
The recipe begins by mixing bold coffee—such as strong cold brew—with sweetened condensed milk that has been slightly warmed to blend smoothly. A small amount of almond extract adds a subtle nutty aroma and flavor. Cardamom, included optionally, imparts a warm, fragrant spice enhancing the coffee's complexity.
The mixture is poured into glasses filled with ice cubes to chill the beverage instantly. Stirring well ensures even flavor distribution. The resulting iced coffee is creamy, sweet, and aromatic, with a notable depth from the coffee and cardamom.
This drink is typically served immediately to maintain its chilled nature. Variations include adjusting the amount of condensed milk for preferred sweetness or substituting part of it with evaporated milk or heavy cream to reduce sweetness while retaining creaminess. It can be consumed as an afternoon refreshment or a complement to desserts.
For an indulgent touch, topping with fresh whipped cream or adding a splash of Irish cream or Kahlua transforms it into an after-dinner treat.
Ingredients
- 4 cups coffee bold and strong, but not burnt. I use strong cold brew.
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk slightly warmed up
- 1 tsp almond extract pure
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom optional
- ice cubes optional
Instructions
- In a pitcher, add coffee, sweetened condensed milk, and almond extract. Stir well. If desired, add ground cardamom and stir.
- Pour into 4 glasses filled with ice. Stir and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- For a less sweet but still creamy drink, replace some sweetened condensed milk with heavy cream or evaporated milk.
- Traditional strong coffee can be brewed using a coffee sock for authentic flavor.
- Serving the drink with fresh whipped cream creates a richer coffee treat.
- Add a splash of Irish cream or Kahlua to turn the iced coffee into an after-dinner dessert beverage.
