Iced Coffee

I didn’t know Aussie style iced coffee is “well known” around the globe until my brother-in-law visited us from Holland a few years ago.

His Dutch friends told him he had to go to Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach and try the iced coffee. He didn’t understand the fuss about it until he tasted it.

Iced coffee in Australia is pretty unique and iconic. It is like an unblended milkshake full with deliciousness: coffee, milk, ice cream, whipped cream and cocoa powder. Iced coffee can be ordered in most cafes and it is easy to make it at home. Here are the steps:

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup Espresso coffee or strong coffee, chilled
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
• Whipped cream (you can use sweetened or unsweetened)
• Cocoa powder

Method:

1. First, you need 1/4 cup of chilled espresso coffee or strong coffee.
   
   
   
2. Fill a tall glass (it is usually served in a milkshake glass) with the chilled coffee.
   
   
   
3. Next, you need 1/2 cup of cold milk.
   
   
   
4. Pour the milk into the glass filled with chilled coffee.
   
   
   
5. Now, it is time for ice cream. To be exact, vanilla ice cream.
   
   
   
6. Add 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream into the glass. Do not stir. Let it float.
   
   
   
7. Top it up with as much whipped cream (you can use sweetened or unsweetened) as you like.
   
   
   
8. Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle with cocoa powder.
   
   
   
9. Serve immediately with a straw and a long dessert spoon. Enjoy!
