Strawberry Basil Iced Coffee Recipe
A refreshing and fruity iced coffee with a twist of basil, designed to confuse and delight your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 2 cups brewed coffee chilled
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
- 6-8 fresh basil leaves
- 1-2 tablespoons honey or any sweetener of your choice
- Ice cubes
- 1/4 cup milk or cream optional, but we’re all adults here
Instructions
- Brew your coffee and let it cool. You could also use cold brew if you’ve got your life together.
- In a blender, combine the strawberries, basil leaves, and honey. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the strawberry-basil mixture to get rid of the pulp. No one wants that floating around in their coffee.
- In a glass filled with ice cubes, pour the chilled coffee.
- Add the strawberry-basil mixture and stir well.
- Top with milk or cream if you’re feeling fancy—or just to mess with your friends.
- Sip and enjoy the judgmental stares of those who don’t appreciate genius.
