This 1-minute instant iced coffee is the best way to enjoy a cup of coffee in summer! If you haven’t tried it yet here is your chance!
Guys! I feel like my brain stopped working at some point today. I have been writing and re-writing this post but it’s somehow going slow. I don’t know if it’s because the high summer temperatures are making my brain work slower (actually not work at all in this case) or it is the fact that I am still recovering from visit to my dentist. Well it’s already been a few hours since then to be honest. She fixed my broken tooth but said right away that this wouldn’t last forever and if it breaks again I will need a crown! Hopefully it will last for a good while as I don’t feel like going back any time soon.
Would you believe that my mouth is still numb!?! I can’t eat and can barely drink! I am soo starving right now! I haven’t eaten in almost six hours! You see I can’t be without food for a very long time. So here I am waiting until the anesthetics stop working coz eating when half of your mouth is numb is no fun, I tell you this!
Thankfully I have a nice cup of this 1 minute instant iced coffee right next to me that distracts me a bit from feeling sorry for myself!
Truth be told, I don’t drink coffee a lot. I never did drink it on daily basis. I liked to enjoy it when chatting with friends in a nice quiet coffee place. However, in Spain we started drinking it more often. I love the smell of freshly brewed coffee that fills your kitchen instantly!
But guess what? It soon became obvious that my stomach doesn’t agree with warm coffee at all! So I had to stop drinking it!
Iced coffee on the other hand is another story! I can drink it without any problems whatsoever! Isn’t that great? At the beginning I wasn’t sure about drinking it. First, it’s cold and then what about my stomach? So I did some research…
Guys, so it’s like this. Apparently cold-brew coffee is much healthier than hot-brew one. The acid levels are much lower which means that cold-brew coffee is more alkaline. This is good for your digestive system! Now this one minute coffee is made with instant coffee instead of ground coffee beans so it’s not a cold-brew as such (When you want to make the cold-brew coffee you will need to leave steep ground coffee beans in cold water for about 12 hours). But! It agrees with my stomach so I take it the same thing applies to the quick instant version!
This 1 minute iced coffee is the simplest of all iced coffees that are out there! There are no fancy ingredients in it, it’s just a simple combination of instant coffee with sugar, milk and water but tastes just right. If you are considering drinking iced coffee, start with this 1 minute instant iced coffee!

Your 1 Minute Instant Iced Coffee, sounds yummy with the hot and humid summer we have been having. Can you use 2% milk with it? Asking because that is all I ever buy. Thanks in advance.

I love the taste! But I can’t seem to get foam and mine just ends up like a slushie?! I am using flax milk, do you think that makes a difference?! No matter, it is refreshing and so quick!!!

Hi Stephanie! Thanks so much for your feedback. Hmm…The foam forms when blending coffee, ice, water, etc together (step 1). Do you use immersion blender to blend it together? I haven’t used flax milk so no idea but I used almond milk and it worked well (not sure if that helps). I suggest you try again – blend it well until you see a lot of foam and only then pour into glasses.
