Ingredients for instant iced coffee

Iced coffee is absolutely easy to make and it needs only 4 ingredients - instant coffee, milk, water, and sugar.

I personally like to use the classic Nescafe instant coffee however any other flavor or brand of instant coffee will work well.

I also prefer using the whole milk but if you use skim milk or 2 percent then you can skip adding water or reduce the amount. It is best to use chilled milk and water.

Instead of sugar, a low glycemic index sweetener like blue agave can be added. Also, you can adjust the amount of coffee to adapt to your taste depending on how strong the flavor you enjoy.
