Our Canadian chain, Tim Hortons, is famous for it’s Iced Cappuccinos…a drink which I love but try to resist buying.
This homemade recipe has a great chocolate feel and not a super strong coffee flavour.
The taste replicated here is close to the Tim Hortons ice cap I must say…just not slushy like Tims.
2 cups powdered non-dairy creamer {I used Western Family brand…a low cost brand available in Western Canada}
2 cups instant hot chocolate mix {I used no name hot chocolate}
1.5 cups cup instant coffee granules {I used Western Family brand}
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions: Place in food processor or blender to process to a fine powder.Add 2 heaping teaspoons to cup of hot water for a hot drink, or to cold water or milk and lots of ice for a cold drink. Flavour may vary depending on the type of hot chocolate and instant coffee used. My recipe turned out fine and I didn’t have to make any adjustments, but I have read reviews where others do. I recommend making a test cup to try and adjusting the flavours if needed before storing. Add more sugar if necessary.
And here’s how we mix our drinks: 2 heaping teaspoons in a mason jar, add lots of ice, a cup of milk, put lid on jar, flex the biceps with giving the drink a good shake, take lid off and insert straw. Sip with joy! {I admit the drink is a little ‘powdery’ looking as I think not all of the coffee disolves in cold water, but use a straw and you are good! The taste is perfect!}

Angie – What an awesome idea! I love iced coffee in the warmer months but definitely do not like paying a lot for it. Thanks so much for linking up!

Yummy!!! And your presentation again is just too too cute! By the way, Lipton DOES make instant tea and it's carried in most grocery store chains. I looked at it in the store and it isn't the iced tea mix so it should work!
Angie, this looks so good! I love iced cappuccino so I'm drooling right now. I never knew how to make this and I'm shocked at how easy it is. (A lot cheaper than Starbucks too!) This is a perfect gift for my mom. I think I might have to copy your packaging. It's so dang cute! Really love this!!!
