After many different machines and years of purchasing expensive, prepackaged kcups, I have finally ditched Keurig machines and this time for good. My newest coffee companion is a Ninja Hot and Iced Coffee Maker (CM305 model):
So far, I love the versatility of the machine and the ability to do so much more than brew a cup of coffee. I love a hot drink in the morning, but my husband is all about iced coffee and froufrou drinks. My maker came with a detachable frother, measuring cup, and various settings to perfect a cup, tumbler, or carafe of the coffee or drink of choice. It even has the ability to make espresso drinks, lattes, and iced concoctions as well. As I played around with my machine I created my own version of the popular Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso drink from Starbucks. Here is my recipe:
Brown Sugar Oatmilk Iced Coffee–
Ingredients:
coffee grounds of your choice (2 Tb), ice, oatmilk, 1 Tb brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon
Recipe:
- Fill a mug to the top with ice and place on the mug plate under the drip container
- Select the settings: Cup and Specialty Make sure there is enough water in the reservoir to fill a cup (this is easily marked)
- Use the detachable measuring spoon and add the recommended amount of coffee for a Specialty drink to a #4 cone filter and add to machine (2 large scoops)
- After coffee brews over the ice, fill the remainder of the glass with oatmilk and add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- Mix
- Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon
