Be Your Own Barista with Homemade Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is happiness in a cup. But getting your daily cold caffeine fix can add up – fast. Save your pennies with these sublime iced coffee recipes you can whip up right at home. With a few key ingredients and a bit of planning, you’ll be having your coffee and drinking it, too. Be warned – the best homemade iced coffee takes a little foresight. In most cases, you’ll need to make your coffee a day ahead so it can brew for at least eight hours. The reward? A richer, more nuanced flavor that’s definitely worth the wait.

Pro Tip: For fuller flavor, fill an ice tray with coffee and freeze over night to use in each of these recipes. That way, when the ice begins to melt, your coffee won’t get watered down!

Cold brew is having a major moment at coffee shops. It’s less acidic than regular coffee, so it’s a little healthier and easier on the stomach. Plus, almond milk is the perfect alternative for those who have a bit of lactose intolerance. We like this recipe a latte!
