Use Simple Syrup to Sweeten Iced Coffee

If you switch from hot to iced coffee as the temperatures rise, consider switching your sweetener as well. Subbing in simple syrup (a solution of sugar dissolved in water) for regular sugar, unless you like the taste of the sugar granules in your iced coffee, that is.

 

 

And for even better iced coffee, try making it in a cocktail shaker. Putting the coffee, ice, sugar (or simple syrup), and milk in the shaker and giving it a few swift shakes for a perfectly frothy morning drink.
