For some coffee aficionados, cold coffee is the ultimate drinking Nirvana.  It is the liquid mantra that carries you through the day, that drives your ideas; that boiled potion that influences your mood and in some cases, your creativity. The importance coffee has over society has reached far beyond the fields of an everyday after-lunch habit and has journeyed well into the realm of a carefully praised and almost religious ritual.

So, in the spirit of enhancing the benefits and sense of belonging to a special crowd of coffee lovers, we have put together this list of recipes that will guarantee you a brain freeze of pure flavor.

 What you’ll need

  • Your favorite brand of coffee
  • A carton of milk (whole, skimmed, lactose-free)
  • Regular ice cube trays
  • Sugar or substitute

How you’ll do it

This one is a no-brainer but delivers the most basic yet enjoyable cold coffee drink you can fix at home.  Just pour your regular coffee on a regular ice cube tray.  Once the coffee is frozen, pop out the cubes and put them inside a tall glass while adding your favorite milk and your choice of sugar or substitutes. Stir it up and viola!

What you’ll need

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 4 cups of recently-brewed coffee
  • ½ teaspoon of cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • A home blender

How you’ll do it

Mocha Coffee became an instant classic when someone decided to mix cocoa powder and ground coffee together. When someone added cold into this powerful blend, the result is this fresh and delicious pleasure.  Just take a regular jug–manual or with a blender machine–and stir all the ingredients until you reach a uniform cream.  For even better results, try a milk frother and be ready to enjoy this chilly version of your favorite drink.

A different version of the Mocca is the Frappé.  To begin, set your home blender on “ice crush” cycle and blend the first six ingredients until you reach a Frappé point. Pour the mixture into your cup or glass.  Add whipped cream and top it off with the chocolate syrup. Delish!
