Ingredients
As always, you will find the complete recipe below. This is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need:
- Coffee: you can use strongly brewed coffee and allow it to cool, but I use this cold brew method to make a large batch, perfect for daily iced coffees.
- Chocolate Syrup: I use sugar free for a low carb option.
- Simple Syrup: I use sugar free for a low carb option.
- Half and half, heavy cream, milk or almond milk
How to Make
This is an excellent base recipe. Everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes to coffee. You may like it sweeter, stronger or with more milk than I do. Simple do a quick taste test and adjust the ingredients based on your liking.
- Combine the coffee, chocolate syrup, simple syrup, half and half and stir, shake or blend until completely combined.
- Pour over ice and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Iced Coffee
- Brewed coffee does work in this recipe, however cold brew coffee often has a smoother, less acidic taste that is perfect for sweet iced coffees. I would recommend following this tutorial.
- Use good quality, bold coffee.
- For extra strong iced coffee you can always freeze coffee cubes so as it melts the drink gets stronger, not less diluted.

Notes
I’m wondering if you could use sugar free coffee creamer. That would cut a few more carbs too I would think.
