Drinking hot masala tea or regular coffee can be taxing during summers, but the desire to enjoy a brew stays with us. Thanks to so many food trends like Dalgona coffee or vegan coffee or ayurvedic tea decoctions, we have been introduced to multiple beverages during this lockdown period.
While you can rely on vegan milk options for making flavoursome coffee drinks, adding simple spices as cinnamon or cardamom can also be used to flavour black coffee. The best part of this cold coffee brew recipe is that you can make it in a batch and store for a week, if not more. This is also a diabetes-friendly brew as you can use natural sweeteners to make it. Refreshing iced coffee sweetened with the flavours of brown sugar and cinnamon sounds divine, doesn’t it?
