Ingredients and Equipment
- Keurig Latte Maker
- Keurig K-Cup (dark roast recommended)
- Ice cubes
- Glass or tumbler
- Optional: Milk, creamer, or sugar
Step 1: Fill the Reservoir
Fill the Keurig Latte Maker‘s water reservoir with cold water.
Step 2: Insert the K-Cup
Insert a dark roast K-Cup into the Keurig Latte Maker. Dark roasts have a stronger flavor that holds up well when iced.
Step 3: Brew the Coffee
Select the “Strong” brew setting on your Keurig Latte Maker. This will produce a more concentrated brew that will not be watered down by the ice.
Step 4: Cool the Coffee
Let the brewed coffee cool for a few minutes before pouring it over ice. This will prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
Step 5: Pour Over Ice
Fill a glass or tumbler with ice cubes. Slowly pour the cooled coffee over the ice, filling the glass to your desired level.
Step 6: Add Milk or Creamer (Optional)
If desired, add milk or creamer to your iced coffee to taste. Pour it over the ice and coffee, stirring to combine.
Step 7: Sweeten to Taste (Optional)
Sweeten your iced coffee to taste with sugar, honey, or a sugar-free sweetener. Stir until dissolved.
