Orange Mint Iced Coffee Recipe
A cool, zesty iced coffee with a hint of mint and a citrus twist for those who need an energy boost with style.
Ingredients
- Cold brewed coffee: 1 cup
- Fresh mint leaves: 8-10 leaves more if you’re feeling extra fancy
- Orange juice: ¼ cup freshly squeezed, obviously
- Ice cubes: A handful or enough to cool your existential dread
- Honey or sugar syrup: 1 tablespoon optional, but why not sweeten life a bit?
- Orange slices and mint sprigs for garnish because we care about aesthetics
Instructions
- Muddle the mint leaves in a glass or jar. Don’t pulverize them; we’re making coffee, not a mojito.
- Add the cold coffee and orange juice into the blender and blend for a few seconds. You’re mixing flavors, not running a marathon.
- Pour the mixture over ice in glasses.
- Garnish with orange slices and a mint sprig because you deserve to feel fancy, even for 5 minutes.
- Stir, sip, and enjoy your newfound superiority.
