This easy low-sugar iced coffee recipe keeps all the refreshing, coffee-forward flavor you love with less added sugar, steadier energy, and simple, everyday ingredients you already have at home.
Start with coffee that’s slightly stronger than your usual morning brew. Pour the hot coffee into a heat-safe glass or small jug and let it cool to room temperature.
While the coffee is still a little warm, stir in your chosen sweetener so it dissolves easily. Add a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free sweetener and mix well, then taste with a spoon.
Fill a tall glass all the way to the top with ice cubes. Pour the sweetened coffee over the ice, then top up with cold water, milk, or a mixture of both.
