Why You’ll Love This Date Iced Coffee
Naturally sweetened
Dates are a natural sweetener that give a rich, caramel-like flavor to your drink. They are one of the best alternatives to refined sugar as a whole-food sweetener.
Quick iced coffee for busy mornings
While brewing your coffee can take time, this quick and easy guide can make room for other activities. It comes together in one blender jar in under two minutes which can make your life easy.
Smooth, creamy, and perfect for summer
Blending the dates directly into the milk creates a microfoam that you can’t achieve by simply stirring. It gives the drink a rich, velvety mouthfeel that feels incredibly refreshing on a hot afternoon.

Tips for the Best Iced Coffee
1. Use coffee ice cubes to avoid dilution. Coffee stored in the form of ice cubes releases more flavor into your drink and helps keep your coffee strong.
2. Choose soft dates like Medjool for easier blending. Medjool dates are softer and have a buttery texture, and when blended, they emulsify completely into the liquid. In contrast, dried dates can remain chunky and gritty.
3. Blend well for a silky creamy iced coffee texture. Always blend your coffee at high speed because it incorporates air and creates microfoam, giving you a luxurious, café-style frothy coffee.
