Print Recipe

Experience the perfect blend of rich coffee and sweet peach flavors with this refreshing iced coffee. Ideal for summer afternoons, this drink will transport you to sun-soaked days with every sip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of brewed coffee (strong, preferably cold brew or espresso)
  • 1 cup of peach nectar (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup of whole milk (or any milk alternative like almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 ripe peach (fresh, sliced)
  • 1–2 cups of ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Sugar to taste (optional, if you prefer it sweeter)

Instructions

  1. Start by brewing your coffee. If you're using cold brew, let it steep in the fridge for at least 12 hours beforehand. For espresso, brew 2 shots and let them cool down. You'll know it's ready when it's strong and aromatic, not bitter.
  2. In a tall glass, add 1-2 cups of ice cubes. Fill the glass to the brim if you want an extra frosty drink. Make sure the ice is fresh and not too small, as large cubes will melt slower, keeping your drink chilled longer.
  3. Pour the brewed coffee over the ice. Watch as the coffee cascades over the ice, creating beautiful layers. This step is crucial; pour slowly to avoid splashing and maintain the visual appeal.
  4. Add the peach nectar next. The vibrant orange color will contrast delightfully with the dark coffee. Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors without disturbing the ice too much.
  5. Next, incorporate the milk. Pour it in gently; you want to see a lovely marbling effect as the white mixes with the coffee and peach nectar. Stir lightly until combined, but don’t overdo it—some layering is visually appealing.
  6. Drizzle in the vanilla syrup. This step is key to achieving that sweet flavor balance. Taste your mixture at this point; if you'd like it sweeter, feel free to add sugar to your liking and stir until dissolved.
  7. Finally, top your iced coffee with fresh peach slices. Use a sharp knife to slice your peach into thin wedges, showcasing the beautiful color. Place these delicately on top for a gorgeous presentation.
  8. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch. Place a sprig or two on top for a pop of green, enhancing both the look and the flavor of your drink.
