Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 apple, sliced
- Ice cubes
- Milk or cream (optional)
Instructions
- Start by brewing a cup of your favorite coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or any other brewing method you prefer. Allow the coffee to cool slightly if it is very hot.
- In a glass, add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Pour the warm brewed coffee over the brown sugar. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved in the coffee.
- While the coffee is cooling, prepare your apple. Take half an apple and slice it into thin wedges or cubes, depending on your preference. You can use any type of apple, but sweeter varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp work particularly well.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill your coffee. The amount of ice can vary based on your preference for coldness.
- Once the coffee has cooled to your liking, pour it over the ice-filled glass, ensuring it fills the glass appropriately.
- Add the sliced apples to the glass, letting them float on top of the coffee and ice. This adds a delightful fruity flavor and a nice presentation.
- If you like your iced coffee creamier, pour in a splash of milk or cream to taste. Stir gently to combine the milk with the coffee.
- Finally, give the drink a gentle stir to mix all the ingredients together. You can garnish with additional apple slices if desired.
- Your Brown Sugar Apple Iced Coffee is now ready to enjoy! Sip and savor the refreshing flavors.
Tips
- Choose the Right Coffee: Opt for a medium to dark roast coffee to enhance the flavor profile of your iced coffee. The bolder the coffee, the more it will stand up to the sweetness of the brown sugar and the tartness of the apple.
- Cool Your Coffee: If you want to avoid watered-down coffee, let your brewed coffee cool slightly before pouring it over the ice. You can even brew it in advance and store it in the fridge for a quicker prep time.
- Apple Variety Matters: For the best flavor, use sweet apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp. Their natural sweetness complements the brown sugar beautifully and adds a refreshing crunch.
- Experiment with Creaminess: Don’t hesitate to adjust the amount of milk or cream to your liking. For a richer taste, try using flavored creamers or even a splash of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.
- Garnish for Presentation: Garnish your drink with additional apple slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an appealing presentation that’s sure to impress your guests.
- Make It a Meal: Pair your Brown Sugar Apple Iced Coffee with a light breakfast or snack, like a muffin or a piece of toast, to create a delightful morning experience.
