Shaken Iced Coffee

Shaken, not stirred, that is how I make my iced coffee. For the past few years, cold brew has been all the rage, but last summer I happened upon a new trend.

In both NY and Spain I found some of the best iced coffee was shaken and now I can’t have it any other way.

Best made with espresso, but it can be made with almost any kind of milk and any kind of sugar. For a lighter version I go with almond milk and palm sugar, for a richer flavor I go with coconut milk (the thick and creamy kind) and date honey.

You can use a cocktail shaker for this, but I like to save my large jars of date honey and use them as my shaker. Usually I make it for two so it is a perfect fit.

This is the best way to get latte-like foam on an iced drink.
