Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup brewed strong coffee cooled to room temperature
• 1-2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener adjust to taste
• 1 cup ice cubes adjust for thickness
• 2 tablespoons milk or cream optional, for creaminess

Equipment

• Coffee maker
• Blender
• Measuring cups
• Spatula

Method

 

1. Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature, which helps it blend smoothly without melting the ice too quickly.
2. Add the cooled coffee to your blender along with the sweetener and ice cubes. This combination provides the icy texture with a rich coffee flavor.
3. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy, with the ice broken down into tiny, cold particles that look creamy and inviting.
4. Pour in the milk or cream if you want a creamier texture, then give the blender one quick pulse to combine everything evenly.
5. Stop the blender and check the consistency—should be thick, icy, and scoopable. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend briefly again.
6. Scoop the frozen coffee slushie into glasses and serve immediately with a straw or an optional coffee bean garnish for a complete look.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the sweetness or add flavored syrups for a customized twist. Using freshly brewed, cooled coffee ensures the best flavor and texture.

This coffee slushie is a simple pleasure that fits perfectly into busy mornings or lazy afternoons. It captures the essence of summer while giving that beloved coffee kick, making every sip feel like a fleeting escape. No matter the season, this drink makes every day a little cooler and a lot more fun.
