Alright, caffeine aficionados, gather ’round! I’ve got a treat that’ll whisk your taste buds straight to a tropical paradise. This Coconut Iced Coffee is not only creamy and refreshing, but it’s also the best excuse to pretend you’re on a beach while stuck in Portland. Seriously, who needs a vacation?
I enjoy this delightful brew whenever I need a mental escape from the daily grind. There’s something about the rich, nutty flavor of coconut that just screams luxury. Plus, it’s my little secret to making every morning feel like a getaway. You might even say I’m a bit possessive about this recipe—it’s just that good.

Ingredients

Preparation Steps
- Brew Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee and let it cool, or use pre-made cold brew if you’re as impatient as I am.
- Prepare Ice: Fill your favorite glass or mason jar halfway with ice cubes. Trust me, more ice equals more chill.
- Mix It Up: In a separate container, mix 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of coconut syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until it’s all blended like a tropical dream.
- Combine: Pour your cold coffee over the ice. Then, add your coconut mixture and stir it up like you’re mixing a cocktail on a sunny beach.
