The American global coffee house, Dunkin’ Donuts, has turned our love for all things coffee into iced coffee.

We now seem to like our coffee cold.

Regardless of how we like our coffee, there are many benefits to drinking coffee, especially iced coffee.

According to Nature.com, Cold coffee actually has less acid, making it more flavorful.

It may be easier with a Keurig to make your own iced coffee.

It all plays out in the coffee grounds.

Once the grounds are placed in hot water, they release oils that are composed primarily of acidic compounds, making our coffee more bitter.

Fun Fact: The United States consumes a quarter of the world’s coffee.

Coffee is the second-largest import, only behind oil.

By some estimates, 10 percent of the world’s population gets all or part of their pay from coffee.

Coffee has taken over the world as the second-highest commodity with more people consuming coffee than they are consuming water.

It’s your favorite brand of indulgence, cooled down into a refreshing glass of Joe!

I tried making it with other coffee brands but it didn’t taste like dunkin’ original iced coffee.

I recommend using the dunkin donuts coffee brand if you are seeking the best iced coffee recipe ever!

Use this Dunkin donuts iced coffee recipe as a basic foundation.

Tips:

  • To get the most authentic taste, we recommend you use high-quality 100% Arabica coffee beans, like the original. There are two types of coffee beans: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is smaller and harder to grow but tastes better. Robusta, which has much more caffeine, is larger and easier to grow.
  • Use the freshest coffee beans. 
  • When not using coffee beans, store them in an airtight container, in the freezer. The airtight container is important because coffee absorbs the smells and flavors of anything around it.
  • Keep your carafe clean. 
  • If you are making ice coffee and don’t have coffee ice cubes, double the amount of coffee grinds you use to make the coffee. (3 Tablespoons for every 6 ounces of water). 
  • Save time and use cold brew coffee
  • If you have extra coffee leftover, store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. 
  • Iced Coffee that is refrigerated has a life of about eight hours after brewing.

Bonus:

Make this beverage “over the top GOOD” by adding a scoop of Hagen-Daz Vanilla Bean of Coffee ice cream.  

Fun Fact:

Dunkin‘ Donuts swirls are made with sweetened condensed milk and flavored with cocoa, vanilla, and other flavors.

Enjoy the refreshing, full flavor of this Iced Coffee Recipe that tastes like the one you crave!

Total Time: 10 minutes

This copy cat dunkin donuts iced coffee recipe comes together in just minutes with just a few ingredients for a dunkin donuts iced coffee ready to drink treat!

How do you make iced coffee with Keurig iced coffee?

Simply fill a 16-ounce tumbler (not glass) with ice, insert your favorite K-Cup pod (any kind will work!), then select the “iced” button. The beverage will come out hot and chill over ice for a full-flavored iced coffee.

How does Dunkin Donuts make their iced coffee?

Dunkin' Original Blend Iced Coffee has been beloved for many years. It's brewed with double the amount of coffee, cooled and then poured over ice. This process, called double brewing, ensures that every cup of Iced Coffee's freshness and rich flavor is never compromised at the expense of serving it cold.

Can you use regular Keurig pods for iced coffee?

Answer: If you want to make iced coffee with your Keurig machine you don't need special k cups for iced coffee. You can make iced coffee with any regular k cup pod. I do recommend using dark roasted k cups for best results. Think of a k cup as a base.
