Equipment

  • Coffee Maker
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Glass or Pitcher
  • Glasses
  • Spoon
  • Ice Tray or Bag

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Freshly brewed coffee
  • 4 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Milk or cream

Instructions
 

  • To make the perfect Honey Cinnamon Iced Coffee, start with good quality coffee beans or ground coffee. Follow these steps:
    - Measure out 1 cup of coffee grounds.
    - Use a French press or drip coffee maker to brew the coffee.
    - Pour 4 cups of hot water over the coffee grounds.
    - Let it steep for 4-5 minutes if using a French press.
    - If using a drip coffee maker, let the coffee machine brew the coffee.
    Once the coffee is brewed, let it cool to room temperature. You can also make a larger batch and store it in the refrigerator for later use.
  • While the coffee cools, prepare the honey and cinnamon mixture:
    - Take 4 tablespoons of honey.
    - Add 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon to the honey.
    - Mix well until the honey and cinnamon are fully combined.
    For an extra touch, you can use a cinnamon stick instead of ground cinnamon. Let the cinnamon stick steep in the honey for a few minutes to infuse the flavor.
  • Now, it’s time to assemble your iced coffee:
    - Fill two glasses with ice cubes.
    - Pour the cooled coffee over the ice, splitting evenly between both glasses.
    - Stir in the honey and cinnamon mixture into each glass.
    The ice will help dilute the coffee slightly, creating a refreshing drink. Make sure the honey and cinnamon mixture is well mixed with the coffee.

Notes

Add Vanilla For Extra Flavor

Adding vanilla can make your Honey Cinnamon Iced Coffee taste even better. Vanilla brings out the sweetness in honey and enhances the spice of cinnamon.
Here are a few ways to incorporate vanilla:
  • Add a splash of vanilla extract to your coffee. A little goes a long way.
  • Use vanilla-flavored syrup for a sweeter touch.
  • Opt for vanilla-flavored coffee beans if you prefer a milder taste.
Vanilla Extract - 1/2 teaspoon
Vanilla Syrup - 1 tablespoon
Vanilla Coffee Beans - Use as regular beans
Experimenting with different forms of vanilla can help you find the perfect balance for your taste buds. Vanilla adds a creamy and rich flavor, making your coffee more indulgent.

Choose The Right Coffee Strength

The strength of your coffee affects the overall taste of your Honey Cinnamon Iced Coffee. Choosing the right strength ensures the flavors of honey and cinnamon shine through without overpowering.
Here are some tips to choose the right coffee strength:
  1. Know your preference: If you like strong coffee, use a dark roast. For a milder flavor, opt for a medium or light roast.
  2. Brew time: Longer brew times create stronger coffee. Adjust the brew time according to your taste.
  3. Coffee-to-water ratio: Use more coffee grounds for a stronger brew. A typical ratio is 1:15 (1 part coffee to 15 parts water).
Finding the right balance between the coffee's strength and the added flavors ensures a delightful drink. Experiment with different roasts and brew times to discover your perfect morning boost.
