Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
The iced nutty butterscotch coffee is a great drink to make ahead of time, especially if you’re expecting guests. Prepare the beverage up until step 4 and keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to serve it, simply add ice and top with whipped cream and butterscotch sauce.
If you have leftovers or want to store the drink for later, it’s best to keep the coffee and the flavored milk separate. Store the coffee in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. The flavored milk can be kept in a separate container in the fridge for up to three days.
To reheat the coffee, warm it up on low heat on your stovetop or microwave it for around 30 seconds at a time until heated through. Do not reheat the flavored milk as it may curdle.
Another great idea is to turn this drink into a delicious milkshake by blending it with some vanilla ice cream. Just freeze the already-made coffee overnight, blend together with two scoops of vanilla ice cream and one tablespoon of peanut butter until smooth, then top with whipped cream, chocolate chips, and a drizzle of homemade butterscotch sauce.
Whether you’re making this drink ahead of time or storing leftovers, following these simple tips ensure that your iced nutty butterscotch coffee retains its flavor and aroma till your next feast!
Tips for Perfect Results
To ensure a perfectly delicious iced nutty butterscotch coffee every time, I have some tips for you.
Firstly, use freshly brewed coffee for the best taste. It is recommended to use cold brew coffee or any iced coffee, but if you want to use hot brewed coffee, make sure it’s cooled down completely before you add ice or mix it with other ingredients.
Secondly, when adding ice to your glass, make sure that the glass is filled with enough ice so that the coffee doesn’t become too watered down as it rests on the ice. A good guideline is to fill half of the glass with ice. If you want a thicker and creamier consistency, you can use iced butterscotch instead of plain water ice.
To create a rich and nutty flavor in your butterscotch coffee, I recommend using hazelnut syrup along with butterscotch syrup, which will take the flavor to another level.
Thirdly, adding whipped cream on top of your iced nutty butterscotch coffee gives it a creamy and light finish. You can also sprinkle some crushed hazelnuts or grated chocolate on top for an extra touch of luxury.
If you want to spike up this drink and make it an adult beverage, add some Irish cream or butterscotch schnapps. The liqueur addition can enhance the drink’s richness and sweetness.
Lastly, if you’d like to experiment with making different variations of this drink, try combining peanut butter with hazelnut syrup or use macadamia nuts instead of crushed hazelnuts for garnishing. You can also add chocolate chips or homemade butterscotch sauce into your drink to make it into a milkshake-like consistency.
With these helpful tips at hand, I guarantee that your iced nutty butterscotch coffee will be a hit among your friends and family!
