Mint Mojito Iced Coffee Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew coffee (or cooled-down strongly brewed coffee)
- 3–5 fresh mint sprigs with leaves (including stems for more flavor)
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1–2 teaspoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
- 2–4 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
- Extra mint for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle the Mint and Sugar: In a glass or shaker, add the fresh mint leaves along with the brown sugar. Gently muddle them using a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the fragrant mint oils and flavors. Then add the hot water and stir to help dissolve the sugar completely.
- Add Coffee and Lime Juice: Pour in the cooled cold brew coffee and the lime juice to the mint mixture. Stir well or shake in the shaker to combine all the flavors.
- Add Heavy Cream and Froth (Optional): Add the heavy cream if desired, then shake the mixture again to create a frothy texture that enhances the creamy richness of the coffee.
- Serve Over Ice: Fill a separate serving glass with plenty of ice cubes, then strain or pour the minty iced coffee mixture over the ice to chill.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with a fresh sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation. Stir gently before drinking and enjoy your refreshing Mint Mojito Iced Coffee!
Notes
- Adjust brown sugar to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Use cold brew coffee for a smoother, less acidic flavor; alternatively, strongly brewed coffee cooled down works well too.
- The stems of the mint add extra flavor, so keep them when muddling.
- Heavy cream is optional but adds a nice creamy texture and richness to the drink.
- For a stronger mint flavor, let the muddled mint steep in the hot water for a minute before adding the coffee.
