Hello, coffee aficionados! Today we're crafting a luxurious yet straightforward beverage perfect for any vanilla bean lover. This delightful Vanilla Bean Blended Iced Coffee features our premium vanilla bean syrup with a hint of agave sweetness, blending to perfection for a creamy, caffeine-packed delight. It's a coffee shop classic with a homemade twist and less sugar, designed for those indulgent moments right at home. Follow along as we reveal this simple, divine recipe for you to enjoy.
Ingredients:
- 2 pumps of agave syrup (you can add more if desired)
- 2 1/2 pumps of Amoretti Vanilla Bean Syrup
- 1 cup of milk (any kind you prefer)
- 1/4 cup of heavy cream
- 2 shots of espresso (or strongly brewed coffee)
- Ice, as needed
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
- Cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Begin by adding the agave syrup and vanilla bean syrup into your blender. If you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add an extra pump of agave.
2. Pour in the milk and heavy cream for a luxurious, creamy texture.
3. Brew your espresso shots—I recommend two for a robust flavor, but if you're feeling adventurous, three shots will do. Just remember to adjust the amount of ice accordingly. Alternatively, use strongly brewed coffee if you don't have espresso handy.
4. Toss in a reasonable amount of ice. Be careful not to overflow your mixture with ice; it's better to start with less and add more if needed to thicken the drink without diluting it too much.
5. Secure the lid on your blender and blend until smooth. If it's too thin, add more ice and blend again.
6. Once blended to perfection, pour the iced coffee into a tall glass. Depending on the size, you may have some extra to share—or keep for your next coffee craving.
7. For those who love a bit of decadence, top your beverage with whipped cream. For an ultimate gourmet touch, sift a little cocoa powder over the cream.
8. Now, grab a straw and savor your homemade concoction. This Vanilla Bean Blended Iced Coffee with actual vanilla beans is a staple that will captivate your senses and become a regular in your repertoire.
