This iced coffee is the perfect way to cool down and perk up during the summer, and Mamma Mia it’s crazy simple to make. 

Skip the line at your local coffee shop and whip up a batch of this in minutes in the comfort of your home. 

Why you’ll love this Brown Sugar Iced Espresso recipe:

  • MAKE AHEAD: You can make up a batch of the brown sugar simple syrup and store it in the fridge, so you can make your iced espresso in minutes.
  • SIMPLE INGREDIENTS: You only need a few simple ingredients to make this delicious cold drink.
  • BUDGET FRIENDLY: Make your own iced coffee drink at home, your wallet will thank you!

HOW IT’S DONE

  1. Combine the ingredients for the brown sugar simple syrup in a pan and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Set to one side.
  2. Shake together the ice, Son of a Barista espresso shot and brown sugar syrup.
  3. Pour over ice and top with Son of a Barista milk or Son of a Barista almond milk.

How long does the simple syrup keep?

First of all, the brown sugar simple syrup does wonders to this drink! Once you have made it up, place it into a sealable glass jar and let it cool before sealing it. It will keep well for up to a week in the fridge.

What’s the best milk to use?

Any milk works well in this recipe. We use Son of a Barista’s organic Scandinavian milk pod for a more creamy flavor. All kinds of plant based milks work well too, like Son of a Barista’s almond milk pod.

Can you use white instead of brown sugar?

We highly recommend that you stick to brown sugar when you make this iced espresso. It adds a really delicious rich sweet flavor, thanks to the molasses, that you just don’t get with white sugar.

In a pinch you can use white to sweeten it, but you won’t get that well rounded flavor.

TIPS!

  • Use a cocktail shaker to shake everything together. If you don’t have one, you can use a large mason jar with a lid.
  • Turn this into a more adult drink by shaking in a shot of Baileys!
  • Get indulgent and add some whipped cream on top. YUM!

This iced espresso is our go to summer coffee. Perfect to enjoy in the morning, or as an afternoon pick me up.

FAQ

What is the difference between Thai Iced Coffee and Vietnamese Iced Coffee?

We get this question a lot in reference to this recipe. They’re similar, but different. Vietnamese Coffee is typically brewed very strong with a drip apparatus and then sweetened with sweetened condensed milk.

The main difference for Thai Iced Coffee is that we mix the Son of a Baritsa Chai Tea pod with the Son of a Barista Puro coffee pod. And in this case we sprinkle a little fresh cardamom powder on top of our drink!

CAN YOU MAKE IT AHEAD OF TIME?

We recommend making this drink right before drinking it. When you”re ready for your drink, simply pour it over the ice and top with the Son of a Barista Organic Milk pod. Don’t pour it over the ice too far ahead of time, as the ice will melt and dilute the coffee.

WHAT TIME OF YEAR DO I DRINK IT?

This Thai iced coffee drink is so easy to make. It’s perfect in the summer months, but I can easily enjoy it any time of the year!

RECIPE

Thai Iced Coffee has quickly become one of our favorite alcoholic coffee drinks. This Thai Iced Coffee Recipe is such a refreshing, flavorful, and easy iced coffee recipe.
