3 ICED COFFEES That are Better than Starbucks _ Delicious Dupes

The weather is heating up , so we're gonna cool it down with three iced coffee drinks .

That'll keep you energized and refreshed all summer long .

A strong iced coffee at your fingertips is one of the most satisfying moments on a hot day .

Couple that with a sweet cold foam on top and you have the perfect drink .

We're going to make a Manilla sweet cream , cold bre .

I'll start by making the cold brew .

I like making this overnight so that the coffee brews while I'm sleeping , I'm going to grind up 1.5 cups of coarsely ground coffee beans .

I'm just using a dark roast here because I really like the flavor of it .

But try to stick to something a little more medium to dark because it just feels more robust than the cold brew .

Pour it into a jar with six cups , water .

You can adjust the strength of coffee as you prefer , but cool brew is not only more concentrated , it tends to be less acidic than regular brewed coffee .

I also find it to be really smooth and slightly sweet , making it super refreshing .

So once you pour in the water just go ahead and take a spoon and press the coffee grounds down .

So it's fully hydrated .

So I make a big jug like this for the weekend and enjoy as needed weekends tend to be packed for us .

So extra coffee is always welcome .

I brew this in the fridge for 12 hours and then whenever we're ready to enjoy it , just plunge it down and strain it into a cup and enjoy this cold brew is good .

But let's take it to the next level and we're going to add some vanilla sweet foam on top .

Sweet cream or cold foam is just a creamy frothy milk that's poured on top of cold brew or an iced drink .

You guys have probably guessed I'm making Starbucks vanilla sweet cream , cold brew .

Ok .

So I have half a cup of half and half here .

It's just an even mixture of half cream and half milk and we'll just mix it with a sprinkling of sugar and a squeeze of vanilla bean paste to really enhance that vanilla flavor .

And then with my milk frothing one , I'll just it up .

If you don't have one , you can just use this mason jar right here .

Put a lid on it and shake it up vigorously until you get tiny bubbles .

But I find this to be easier .

Pour it right on top of the cold group and we have a delicious coffee treat that will last us through the whole day .

Those warm summer .

Memories of sitting by the fire with friends roasting sweet marshmallows and making those chocolatey goose sms can last forever with this s Morris frappuccino .

So let's first pull our espresso shot .

I'm just using an espresso pod here .

But you can use whatever coffee tool you have , whether it's a Vietnamese coffee filter , a mocha pot , whatever works best for you .

So once we have our espresso shot , let's blend everything together .

I filled my blender cup with ice already .

And then I'm gonna add some marshmallow fluff that you can find at whole foods here .

And this is like a healthier kind without all the additives , condensed milk .

This helps to thicken and sweeten it up .

Two teaspoons of cocoa powder , half of a gram cracker to give it that nutty grammy taste milk .

Our espresso and let's give it a whirl .

This frappuccino is a creamy consistency .

It's not too icy , which is what we want .

Now to dress the cup .

I like to drizzle in a little bit of chocolate syrup on the sides of the cup , just twirling it and then adding a dollop of that marshmallow cream or marshmallow fluff at the bottom .

So it mixes with the frappuccino beautifully with every sip .

Now we'll pour in our frappuccino and top it with some whipped cream .

And then depending on how decadent you want this , you can add another drizzle of chocolate syrup and another sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs .

Huh ?

You get a little bit of the marshmallow cream in there with the chocolatey nuttiness of a SMS .

Oh , my gosh .

This is summer and a cup .

Nothing is more popular than the iced caramel .

Macchiato at Starbucks .

The sweet creamy caramel sauce with an ice cooled milky coffee .

It's their best selling drink .

It's really , it's their number one drink in the summer .

I'm boiling a quarter cup of sugar and then a quarter cup of water with a teaspoon of vanilla extract .

So I have enough for a few days .

I'll simmer it in a pan just until it starts to bubble .

And then I'll just pour it into my jar and let it cool a vanilla simple syrup .

Now we're gonna add some at the bottom of our cup , fill it with ice , top it with milk , add in our shot of espresso .

Another drizzle of caramel rot on top .

Stir it up and this is how simple it is to make the caramel macchiato , save those $5 and make it yourself .

This is really good .
