Somehow, Starbucks convinced us that blending coffee with ice and sugar is a great idea, and we bought it—literally. But why hand over your cash when you can whip up this icy delight at home? It’s basically a dessert with a caffeine kick, perfect for when you need to feel fancy without leaving your kitchen. Just be prepared for the sugar rush.
