The Best DIY Homemade Iced Coffee | Tim Horton & Starbucks Dupe


If you're like me and you love a great iced coffee and saving some money at the same time, read on for my recipe for the ultimate homemade iced coffee...

I've been making iced coffee at home for years. It started out with just some milk and instant coffee but has progressed over the years as I've found some ingredients that have stepped up my coffee to a whole other level. This drink now rivals the iced coffee at expensive coffee houses for a fraction of the price!

Here's my DIY el-cheapo iced coffee recipe:


Nescafe decaf is my choice for instant coffee for this recipe as it dissolves easier and has a rich, bold taste. Choose any instant coffee that you like. They will dissolve as you stir it in the milk.

I use regular milk but you can use lactose-free or any dairy alternative that you like. I recommend organic milk if you are in a country that allows hormones and antibiotics in their milk.

Everything in this recipe is customizable. Just add more or less of each ingredient until you reach your desired taste. You could even make this without the stevia but I don't recommend leaving out the Silk Vanilla Creamer. However, there may be other flavours of this creamer that you could also try.

I don't even measure the Silk Coconut Vanilla Creamer. I probably use more than you need to but this is the product that REALLY takes this iced coffee to the next level, so just keep adding until you love the taste. You don't taste any coconut but it adds a sweet vanilla taste.

If you prefer a chopped ice type of iced coffee, just add more ice and blend in a blender.

This drink is addicting and you'll save TONS of money making your new favourite iced coffee at home! You can thank me later 😋

Let me know how you like it and if you made any changes to the recipe that I need to know about.

  1. This sounds so good! I've actually been considering making my own iced coffee recently, but I wasn't sure if you needed to make an actual hot coffee first then chill it from there, but it sounds easier now I know the granules dissolve without needing hot water!

    1. It's so easy! I find that the finer the instant coffee is, the easier it dissolves. I also throw instant coffee into smoothies :D
