    What is so great about homemade coffee ice cubes

    No one likes watered down iced coffee or lattes and that the best way to get more out of your coffee or is making it into ice cubes.

    Mug or a French press to brew the coffee

    What you will need to make frozen coffee cubes

    Coffee: this can be instant coffee, espresso or ground coffee of choice

    Water: hot water if using instant coffee or brewing ground coffee. Filtered water if using cold brew

    Sweetener of choice: any type of sugar works for the recipe. If you would prefer not to have sugar in the coffee cubes then a simple homemade vanilla syrup would be best as it dissolves easily into the iced beverage.

    How to make coffee ice cubes step by step

    Make the coffee: add 2 tablespoons of coffee to a mug or a heatproof glass, add 100 ml of hot water to dissolve the granules. Then top with 200ml cold water or enough to make 2 cups of coffee. Leave to cool. Alternatively, brew your coffee as you would normally if using ground coffee

    Add sugar to sweeten at the point you added the hot water and stir until dissolved. This is important before moving on to the nest stage.

    Pour the cooled brewed coffee into ice cube trays and freeze for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
