Vegan iced coffee is a warm-weather essential for many, especially during spring and summer. There are so many simple ways to get creative with it, all of which require absolute minimal effort. Do you want to change up your coffee this season? Here are five tips on how to bring your iced coffee to the next level.

Bring Your Vegan Iced Coffee to the Next Level With These 5 Tips

Use the right type of coffee

Every coffee is made different and not all types work the best for the same things. For iced version, switch up your routine and try a medium roast with earthy or chocolate notes. Try to avoid coffee that has highly pronounced flavors when making it iced.

Brew your grounds with extra flavor

Want to bring your favorite flavor into your coffee without using sugar-filled syrups? Brew your grounds with your favorites! I like to brew ground cinnamon and vanilla with my grounds.

Overly watery coffee, begone

Tired of drinking vegan iced coffee that tastes like coffee-flavored water after the ice has melted? I was too! Try making ice-cubes using your favorite additions whether it be almond milk, coconut milk, or a vegan creamer! Like it black? Use already-made brew to make ice cubes to store in your freezer for the next time you’re craving for the delicious drink.

Ditch the single-use plastic

Going out to get your caffeine fix? Stop using single-use plastic and bring your own tumbler! With an infinite number of cool tumblers you can purchase from brands such as Hydroflask, Yeti and Starbucks, you can feel good sparing the ocean from more plastic. Don’t forget your reusable stainless steel straw!

Want to change it up?

The realm of vegan iced coffee also includes very delicious frappuccino, and you can make one easily at home without needing to run into your favorite cafe. With ice, brewed grounds, non-dairy milk and a little bit of sugar, you can make a delicious warm-weather drink in your own kitchen! You can even sneak in a scoop of protein powder to this frappuccino.
