How to Get More Coffee Flavor

To increase the amount of coffee flavor you have in this drink, you can brew the coffee much stronger or use more espresso. You can also use cold brew coffee which sometimes tends to be a little smoother and stronger. Try adjusting the amount of other ingredients to tone down the other flavors.

Coffee Ice Cubes

For a fun treat, pour cooled coffee into ice cube trays and freeze for a few hours. You can either add the coffee ice cubes to your frozen coffee drink and blend or use to make more of an iced coffee variation of this.

What is frozen coffee made of?

Frozen coffee is made with brewed coffee, milk, sweetener and ice. It’s typically blended until thick and frothy. For this recipe, we used ice cream to keep a smooth blended texture more like a milkshake.
