Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freshly brewed coffee cooled to room temperature
  • 2 tbsp simple syrup or adjustable to taste
  • 1 cup ice cubes preferably small or crushed
  • 1/4 cup milk or milk alternative optional for creaminess

Equipment

  • Coffee maker or brewing method
  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Ice cube tray

Method
 

  1. Pour the cooled brewed coffee into the blender, adding the simple syrup for sweetness.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender, creating a generous mound on top of the liquid.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frosty, with a slushy, ice-crystal texture.
  4. If desired, add milk or a milk alternative to the blender, then pulse a few times to incorporate evenly.
  5. Stop the blender and check the consistency—should be thick, creamy, and icy to the scoop.
  6. Pour the slushie into two chilled glasses, aiming for a frosty, slightly piled presentation.
  7. Garnish with a few coffee beans or a swirl of whipped cream if desired, and serve immediately for the best icy texture.
