    Full of cinnamon and sugar, just like a snickerdoodle cookie, this Snickerdoodle Iced Coffee is the perfect sweet treat pick-me-up on a hot afternoon!

    Buying an iced coffee like this at a fancy coffee shop would cost you over five bucks! Make it at home instead; you've probably got the ingredients right in your pantry!

    Here in Massachusetts, we drink iced coffee all year. It doesn't matter if there is two feet of snow on the ground, we're drinking iced coffee. File under "if you know you know".

    Ingredients

    You might think you need a bunch of expensive syrups and creamers to make a great tasting iced coffee. You don't. In fact, I bet you've got most, if not all the ingredients in your home already.

    • coffee
    • ice
    • cinnamon
    • brown sugar
    • dairy or non-dairy creamer / milk
    • whipped cream

    If you like the idea of saving money by making your fancy iced coffees at home then you'll also like making other drinks at home. Try this Pink Drink Starbucks Refresher Recipe!

    Instructions

    Start by brewing the coffee. You want strong coffee since the ice dilutes it a bit. Add the coffee grounds to the filter and add half of the cinnamon right to the grounds.

    Adding the cinnamon to the grounds really helps incorporate that big cinnamon flavor!

    Add ice, cinnamon and sugar to tumbler and brew coffee right into tumbler if your machine can do that.

    If your coffee maker has an "over ice" or "cold brew" setting, use it, and if it doesn't, don't worry but you will need to let your coffee cool a bit before adding ice. Otherwise the ice will just melt on contact.

    My little coffee station. I don't use syrups and sauces much but I do like to have them for guests.

    After the coffee is brewed, stir in the milk / creamer. I give suggested amounts in the recipe card but go with what you like. You may want a lot less or a lot more. We all like our coffee different.

    Equipment

    These are the items I used. You can make do with whatever you have access to. However, I do like to shout out to the Ninja Hot/Cold system. I've never looked back since I switched from Keurig systems to Ninja systems.

    FAQ

    Does this taste like Starbucks Snickerdoodle?

    No, Starbucks snickerdoodle is made with cinnamon dolce syrup and white mocha. I imagine that one is a lot sweeter and packs in a lot more calories.

    Do I need a certain coffee maker to make iced coffee?

    Any coffee maker will do. If your coffee maker doesn't have an "over ice" or "cold brew" setting, simply allow your coffee to cool.

    How can I prevent my iced coffee from being watered down?

    Use ice cubes that are made from leftover coffee instead of water!

    Can I use bottled iced coffee for this recipe?

    Yes, but keep in mind when brewing fresh, we are adding cinnamon. You might not get as much cinnamon flavor with bottled brew.

    Equipment

    • 1 coffee maker

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 tablespoons ground coffee if using the Ninja scoop, it's 3 small scoops
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon divided
    • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar can use less if desired
    • ¼ cup half and half or milk, cream etc.
    • ice

    Instructions
     

    • Place brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a tumbler filled ¾ full with ice.  Place under the brewer for brewing.
    • Place coffee grounds and remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a filter (either paper or reusable) in brew basket. Turn knob to "cup" size and press "brew over ice" option.  When done brewing, stir in half and half.
    • If desired top with whipped cream and a sprinkle more of brown sugar and/or cinnamon.  Enjoy

    Notes

    This recipe was made using the Ninja Hot/Cold Brewing System.  To make using a coffee maker that does not have a "brew over ice" option, I would add an extra T of coffee in order to keep it strong enough and not watered down.

      This sounds so yummy! I assume you could also make this as a hot beverage with the “specialty” button?

        I don't see why not. You may need to adjust the amount of sugar used since the specialty button yields a smaller amount of coffee. I'd love to know how it turns out!
