Iced Coffee, a Thai drink, served in a relaxed traditional Thai teak restaurant

Iced Coffee

This Thai-style iced coffee is a refreshing, creamy, and sweet treat that is incredibly simple to make at home using instant coffee. By combining the rich coffee with a blend of regular and condensed milk, it delivers a perfectly balanced, velvety texture that is ideal for beating the summer heat. It is a quick and satisfying beverage that provides a much-needed cooling pick-me-up.

Cooking Instructions

Preparation: 5 minutes
Cooking: 0 minutes
Servings: 1 to 2

Notes:

Use instant coffee powder for convenience and consistent flavour, but feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference for a stronger or milder coffee taste.

The combination of regular milk and condensed milk creates the signature creamy and sweet profile; adjust the condensed milk quantity if you prefer a less sweet drink.

Dissolving the coffee powder in hot water first ensures a smooth base, preventing any gritty texture in your iced beverage.

Fill your glass generously with ice to keep the drink cold, as the sweetness of the condensed milk can be overwhelming if not properly chilled.

This recipe is highly customisable; you can experiment with adding a touch of evaporated milk for extra richness or adjust the ratio of milk to coffee.

Dissolve Coffee
Place the instant coffee powder into a heatproof vessel and add the hot water, stirring well until the granules are completely dissolved.

Prepare Milk Mixture
In a separate jug, mix the regular milk and condensed milk until fully combined into a smooth, creamy liquid.

Assemble
Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes, pour in the dissolved coffee base, and then slowly pour the milk mixture over the top.

Serve
Stir well with a long spoon or straw to incorporate the layers, then serve immediately while cold and refreshing.
