Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups freshly brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 cups milk (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional)
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 1.5 cups of your favorite coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. You can place it in the refrigerator to chill faster if needed.
While the coffee is cooling, grate or finely chop a small piece of ginger to yield 1 teaspoon. Alternatively, use store-bought minced ginger.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ginger and brown sugar. Stir until well blended to form a ginger-sugar mixture.
Add the ginger-sugar mixture to the cooled coffee and stir until fully dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes, dividing them equally. Pour the ginger coffee over the ice in each glass.
If you prefer a creamy coffee, stir in 2 tablespoons of milk per glass.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired, and garnish with a small pinch of ground cinnamon for an aromatic touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing iced ginger coffee!
