How to Make Iced Coffee with Coconut Milk
Step #1: Mix together the coffee grounds, sugar, and water in a French press.
Step #2: Place the French press in the fridge and leave it overnight.
Step #3: In the morning, press the coffee and serve it over ice.
Step #4: Add plenty of Coconut Milk or your preferred milk alternative.
Step #5: Optional: Freeze leftover coffee in an ice cube tray to use in place of regular ice cubes for an extra-strong coffee.
Expert Tips
For Extra Creaminess – Use full-fat coconut milk and give it a quick shake or blend for a rich, frothy texture.
Make Coffee Ice Cubes – Freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes to keep your iced coffee from getting watered down. This way, your drink stays strong and flavorful as the coffee ice cubes melt.
FAQs
Yes, you can easily switch up the sweetener! Honey or maple syrup adds a natural sweetness, and simple syrup or agave works well too. Liquid sweeteners mix right in and make it easy to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
You can use any type of coffee you prefer! From espresso to cold brew or even instant coffee if you’re short on time—just adjust the strength to suit your taste.
Storage Information
To store your Cold Brewed Iced Coffee, place it in a sealed container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to prevent dilution in future drinks. Avoid storing it with milk, as it may shorten its shelf life.

I love creamy iced coffee, but can’t do dairy. This recipe is for me! Delicious!
Nice I don’t normally use Silk, but I’ll give it a shot for these drinks, they look great.
Hi. I don’t understand about making iced coffee. You really soak the plain grounds in the Silk milk overnight. It isn’t brewed first?
I soak the plain grounds in sugar water overnight, then I like to use coconutmilk as a creamer 🙂
