    Why This Recipe Works

    1. It's naturally sweetened. Maple syrup iced coffee is naturally sweetened with maple syrup. Pure maple syrup is a healthier alternative to refined sugars, and it's healthier too! Packed with potassium, antioxidants, and other minerals and vitamins, it's a great item to add to your diet.
    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 healthier drink. For lower calories and added benefits, 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.

    labeled ingredients needed to make maple iced coffee

    🥘 Ingredients

    Ice cubes- To make this drink nice and cold, you'll need a glassful of ice cubes.

    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, flavor, and benefits, 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.

    Milk- Use any milk desired to help tone down the bitterness in the coffee.

    Whipped Cream- Adding whipped cream on top is optional.

    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 quantities, see the recipe card below.

    📖 Hot Coffee Variation

    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

    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

    You can brew the coffee in advance and keep stored in the fridge so it's chilled but ready to go when needed.

    Up to a few hours in advance, you can mix the iced coffee together (without the ice) and keep it stored in the fridge. This means mixing the coffee, maple syrup and milk, so all you have to do is add in some ice.

    💭 FAQs

    Does maple syrup taste good in iced coffee?

    It does! Much like adding 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 healthier sweetener option than regular sugar because it has antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that support a healthy body and diet.

    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!
