    For a naturally sweetened coffee drink, you're going to want to check out this maple syrup iced coffee. Sweetened with maple syrup instead of sugar, this drink is delicious (and perfect for Fall).

    Recipe: $0.43 | Per Serving: $0.43 | Servings: 1

    Making maple syrup iced coffee is simple and easy and perfect for a chilled drink. Enjoy on a warm or hot day and really feel refreshed!

    This maple coffee drink and my Cinnamon Toast Crunch Latte are both perfect for fall, but this homemade iced coffee recipe has the added bonus of being better for the heat waves, while lattes and Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer are better for the "false winters" as we call them.

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's naturally sweetened. Maple syrup iced coffee is naturally sweetened with maple syrup instead of refined sugar. This is great for anyone trying to avoid or reduce refined sugars in their diets.
    2. You can use your favorite coffee grounds. By using your favorite coffee, you can be guaranteed that you'll enjoy this drink. I like to use medium roast Columbian or Arabica coffee.
    3. Use some dairy free milk for a lower calorie drink. For lower calories, you can swap out whole cow's milk for oat milk or almond milk. Any milk will work fine, so choose whichever you think would be best.

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make maple iced coffee.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Coffee- Use hot or cold brewed coffee. Warmer coffee will dissolve sugars quicker, but cold coffee won't melt the ice cubes as quickly.

    Maple syrup- You will need to use pure maple syrup for the best sweetness and fall flavor, but if in a pinch, cheaper pancake syrup will work. Note that you may need a little more to get your coffee sweeter and that the maple flavor may not be as strong.

    Cinnamon- This is an optional garnish to sprinkle on top of the whipped cream. Ground cinnamon adds a little warm spice to your cold drink.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Maple Iced Coffee

    Step 1: Brew your coffee and allow it a few minutes to cool as you gather the necessary ingredients.

    📖 Hot Coffee Version

    While maple syrup in iced coffee is delicious, it also makes for a tasty warm drink as well.

    • You can make a hot version of this iced drink by brewing the coffee into a mug and adding in the maple syrup. Stir to combine. Let it rest for a little while as you prepare the milk.
    • Add milk to a small pot on the stove and whisk constantly until frothy and warm.
    • Add to the coffee. Stir gently to combine, but leave some frothy bubbles on the top of your coffee.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    For a stronger maple flavor. Iced coffee with maple syrup does not have a very strong maple flavor and if that is what you're looking for, then I recommend adding in ¼ teaspoon of maple flavored extract.

    ⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions

    Prepare Chilled Coffee: Brew the coffee in advance and chill it in the fridge until needed.

    Mix Ingredients (Without Ice): Combine the chilled coffee, maple syrup, and milk in a pitcher or container. Stir well to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.

    Refrigerate: Store the mixed iced coffee in the fridge for up to a few hours before serving.

    Add Ice Before Serving: When ready to serve, add ice to individual glasses or the pitcher containing the coffee mixture. Stir well and serve chilled.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Does maple syrup taste good in iced coffee?

    It does! Much like adding this microwave simple syrup, maple syrup helps to seamlessly integrate into the coffee because it's already a liquid consistency. Adding sweetness and leaving behind a very subtle maple flavor, it pairs perfectly with your morning coffee.

    Is maple syrup in coffee healthier than sugar?

    Maple syrup is a better sweetener option than regular sugar but both have their own properties and uses.

    What grade of maple syrup is best for coffee?

    Real maple syrup has different grades to help showcase which uses would be best for which variety. For coffee, you should look for maple syrup rated grade A as it has the best flavor. Grade B is a great option too!
