Iced coffee vs Cold coffee:

Taste & Texture: This cold coffee is frothy, creamy and sweet with full-on coffee flavor.

  • This is Indian cafe-style cold coffee that uses instant coffee granules vs brewed coffee used in iced coffee.
  • This one is light and sweet (that’s how most Indians like their coffee in India)
  • This one is frothy and sometimes topped with ice cream, whipped cream or chocolate syrup. 

🧾 Ingredient Notes

  • Instant Coffee: I prefer my coffee strong, so I have used Nescafe dark french roast coffee. Use your choice of instant coffee.
  • Milk: Full-fat milk is recommended to get a creamy texture. However, you can use fat-free or low-fat milk.
  • Sugar: It can be adjustable as per your liking sweetness. The given amount will make the coffee just sweet (not sugary sweet).
  • Ice cubes: They are used to make coffee extra chilled. It is optional as we are using chilled milk.

  2. Hello, just wanted to ask that what is the difference between instant coffee and regular coffee
    The coffee which we make usually at home is the instant coffee or any other stuff ?? If it’s different can you please tell me the full name/brand/ link or something.

    1. Instant coffee – it will dissolve in hot water or milk immediately. No need to strain it. Just dissolve and drink.
      Regular coffee – This coffee is ground form of coffee beans. You may need coffee machine to get the brewed coffee. To this brewed coffee, you can add sugar and cream/milk as per your liking. Or you need to add coffee to the boiling water, let it steep and then strain it using the filter.

      Check as per above which coffee you have at home.
