Summer is in full swing, and for many of us, there’s nothing quite as refreshing as a cold, delicious iced coffee. If you’re looking for a simple, foolproof way to make iced coffee at home, you’re in the right place. Using Nescafe Ice Roast instant coffee, you can whip up a perfect iced coffee in no time.
How To Make Iced Coffee At Home:
Measure Your Coffee:
- For every 8 ounces of water, use 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Nescafe Ice Roast instant coffee powder.
- I recommend starting with 1/2 tablespoon per 8 ounces of water, and then adjusting to taste. If you prefer a stronger coffee, simply add more instant coffee until you reach your desired strength.
Mix and Chill:
- Combine the Nescafe Ice Roast instant coffee powder with cold water.
- Stir well until the coffee powder is completely dissolved.
- Place the mixture in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to drink it.
For a larger batch, say five 12-ounce servings, I use 60 ounces of cold water and 4 tablespoons of instant coffee. From there, add 1/2 tablespoon at a time until you reach your preferred coffee strength.
Find the Nescafe Ice Roast at various grocery stores like Walmart, Vons, and on Amazon.

Serve and Sweeten Your Iced Coffee:
- In the morning, pour your chilled iced coffee into a cup.
- Add your favorite syrup flavor for a little extra sweetness and flavor. Here are some of my favorites from Torani:
- Vanilla
- Hazelnut
- Cane Sugar
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- Brown Sugar Cinnamon
- Salted Honey Butter
Add Creaminess:
- Next, add your preferred creaminess: half & half, heavy cream, or milk.
- Top it off with ice, give it a good stir, and enjoy!
