What is a Starbucks Iced Coffee?

A typical Starbucks iced coffee is made from a shot of espresso, ice cubes and topped off with some water.

And that's it! That's all you need to make the perfect iced coffee. But there is one more important thing you need to know. 

To make the best Starbucks iced coffee, you should use their specially blended blend of coffee beans (called arabica coffee or light roast) or the Starbucks instant iced coffee. 

So follow these steps to make the best Starbucks iced coffee:

Ingredients: 

• Instant iced coffee (Coffee brands that do not contain sugar and milk and contain only instant coffee and water, such as Starbucks or Perks)
• Cup / Mug (I like using a wide cup since it is less messy – though if you want to use a regular cup instead of a bowl, I recommend using a clean one)
• Spoon 
• Water (1 cup is enough to make 1 cup of coffee)
• Cold Milk

Directions:

• Step 1: Pour one ice cube in your mug and add two teaspoons of instant iced coffee in it and you will see and feel freezing (if you want it to freeze more, add more ice cubes).
• Step 2: Stir up until everything is mixed together. 
• Step 3: Pour the water into the mug. You can always add more if needed.
• Step 4: Add some milk and stir until it is mixed. Then add some additional milk if you want.

That’s it! 

Notes:

• If you want to add sugar, you can do so after the coffee has been mixed with water.
• You need to use instant iced coffee that does not contain milk or sugar.
• The ratio is two teaspoons of instant iced coffee for every cup of water. If you want a more potent and darker taste, you can increase the amount of dark-roast coffee and decrease the amount of water.
