You can find our favorite Nespresso pods from this article here!
1. Classic Iced Vanilla Latte
Sometimes, simple is best. This iced vanilla latte is smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. If you love a classic coffeehouse drink without the coffee shop price, this one’s for you!
Ingredients:
- 1 Nespresso espresso pod (double espresso is a good choice)
- ½ cup milk (I prefer oat milk)
- 1-2 tsp vanilla extract or syrup
- Ice
Instructions:
- Brew the Nespresso pod.
- Mix in the cold milk, then the vanilla. Vanilla can get overpowering, so I recommend starting with 1 tsp vanilla and then adding more.
- Add ice to fill up the glass. Adding the ice last means it’ll melt slower as your oat milk has already chilled the espresso.
- Stir and enjoy!
2. Caramel Iced Macchiato
If you love caramel drizzle on everything, this one’s a must-try. It has the perfect blend of espresso, sweet caramel, and creamy milk, making it taste just like your favorite coffeehouse macchiato.
Ingredients:
- 1 Nespresso espresso pod (double espresso chiaro is my pick here)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tbsp caramel syrup
- 1 tsp sugar (optional)
- Ice
Instructions:
- Brew the espresso and let it cool slightly.
- In a glass, add caramel syrup and ice.
- Pour milk over the ice, then top with espresso.
- Drizzle extra caramel on top for extra sweetness!
3. Mocha Iced Coffee
This mocha iced coffee gives you that rich, chocolatey taste without being overly sweet. It’s like an iced mocha from your favorite café, but way easier (and cheaper) to make at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 Nespresso espresso pod (Freddo Delicato is light adds more sweetness here)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tbsp chocolate syrup
- Ice
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Brew the espresso and mix it with chocolate syrup. The hot espresso will dissolve the syrup
- Add ice to the espresso mixture.
- Top with milk and stir well.
- Optional: Add whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.
4. Honey Cinnamon Iced Coffee
This one’s for my cinnamon lovers! I like the warm spice of cinnamon and think it pairs beautifully with espresso, while honey adds a natural sweetness that’s so much better than sugar. It’s smooth, slightly spiced, and absolutely delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 Nespresso espresso pod (Bianco Doppio is ALWAYS a good choice)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- Ice
Instructions:
- Brew the espresso and stir in honey and cinnamon while it’s hot.
- Let it cool slightly, then pour ice over the drink.
- Add milk and stir well.
5. Coconut Sweet Cream Iced Coffee
If you’re looking for something a little different, this coconut sweet cream iced coffee is a must-try. The coconut flavor adds more texture and richness, while the condensed milk adds just the right amount of sweetness. It’s rich, creamy, and totally refreshing!
Ingredients:
- 1 Nespresso espresso pod (I don’t have a strong preference here, for once)
- ½ cup coconut milk (or coconut cream powder for a richer taste)
- 1 tbsp condensed milk
- Ice
Instructions:
- Brew espresso and let it cool slightly.
- In a shaker or separate cup, mix coconut milk and condensed milk.
- Fill a glass with ice, pour in the espresso, then top with the sweet coconut mixture.
- Stir and enjoy the creamy, tropical flavor!
