Ingredients
Scale
Mint Mixture
- 3–5 fresh mint sprigs with leaves (including stems for maximum flavor)
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1–2 teaspoons brown sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
Coffee Base
- 1 cup cold brew coffee or cooled strong brewed coffee
- Juice of 1 lime (about 1 tablespoon)
Additional Ingredients
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- 2–4 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
- Extra mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle Mint and Sugar: In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves and brown sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint, releasing its flavorful oils. Pour in the hot water and stir well to help dissolve the sugar and blend the flavors.
- Combine Coffee and Lime: Add the cooled cold brew coffee and freshly squeezed lime juice to the mint mixture. Stir or shake the mixture to blend everything evenly. If using, add the heavy cream and shake again to create a frothy texture.
- Prepare Serving Glass: Fill a separate serving glass with ice cubes to chill the drink as it is poured.
- Assemble and Garnish: Pour the mint-infused coffee mixture over the ice in the serving glass. Garnish with an extra sprig of fresh mint for visual appeal and added aroma. Stir gently and enjoy your refreshing Mint Mojito Iced Coffee!
Notes
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar depending on how sweet you like your iced coffee.
- Using the mint stems in addition to the leaves enhances the mint flavor significantly.
- Heavy cream is optional but adds richness and a creamy froth.
- Cold brew coffee is preferred for smoothness, but cooled strong brewed coffee works as a substitute.
- For a vegan option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or oat milk.
