Ingredients
Scale
Mint Mixture
- 3–5 fresh mint sprigs with leaves
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1–2 teaspoons brown sugar (adjust to taste)
Coffee
- 1 cup cold brew coffee or cooled strongly brewed coffee
- Ice cubes (amount as needed)
Optional
- 2–4 tablespoons heavy cream
- Extra mint sprig for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle Mint and Sugar: In a glass or shaker, add the fresh mint leaves along with the brown sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint, releasing its essential oils and flavor. Pour in the hot water and stir to dissolve the sugar thoroughly and blend the flavors.
- Add Coffee and Mix: Pour the cooled brewed coffee into the glass or shaker containing the mint mixture. Stir or shake well to combine all the flavors evenly. If using heavy cream, add it now and shake again to create a frothy texture.
- Pour Over Ice: Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Strain or pour the mint-infused coffee mixture over the ice to chill the drink instantly.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the iced coffee with a fresh sprig of mint for an extra burst of aroma. Stir gently before enjoying your refreshing Mint Mojito Iced Coffee.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar according to taste.
- Using cold brew coffee provides a smoother, less acidic coffee flavor, but strongly brewed and cooled regular coffee works as well.
- The heavy cream is optional but adds a rich and creamy texture to the drink.
- For an extra minty kick, lightly slap the mint garnish before adding it to release more aroma.
- This beverage is best served immediately to enjoy the freshness of the mint and the chill of the ice.
