Easy, tasty and cheap! I'm all for simple, so I go for a one cup method where I place the coffee, 1 packet of Splenda and water in the glass first and swirl around to dissolve, then add a generous "squirt" of chocolate syrup, swirl some more and add milk. I use 8 oz of milk so the coffee taste isn't too strong. This would also be great with flavored syrups like vanilla, or hazelnut (they come in sugar free options too). There's no excuse to pay $$$ to buy iced cappuccino anymore!

I usually use brewed coffee but I forgot to brew last night so I tried this instant coffee. I am pleasantly surprised. I like my iced coffee a little sweet so I added a little bit of hazelnut flavored creamer. Delicious!

Really yummy with just a few personal adjustments. I found the original too bitter for my taste so i added one more tsp sugar and a splash of vanilla extract. I also put 3 ice cubes instead of water and 'ice crushed' it all in the blender. I think I just took a few bucks away from Mr. Horton

This was a good recipe. I like something a little sweeter, so I added a few drops of vanilla and a little more sugar. It was great!

Just tried this today (after the Chancery's .99 special iced coffee last night). I used a packet of Splenda, and for chocolate flavor, added 1-2 tsp of Ovaltine powder! Great taste, and a little boost before my run tonight!

this was so easy to make! The only thing I would change is use a little less instant coffee. Otherwise- it is really good!!

This recipe satisfied my craving for caffeine and something cool. It was refreshing. The only thing that I didn't like was that there was a bit too much coffee in it. I would cut down on the instant coffee by about half a teaspoon.

This is a really inexpensive and quick way to enjoy iced coffee! In the past I have brewed coffee and had to wait until it chilled. I didn't imagine instant coffee would work so well. I added some caramel syrup!

Very good! For my own personal taste I added 3/4 teaspoon of cocoa powder and an extra teaspoon of sugar before shaking...tasted just like a frappuccino! I found it too bitter without the extra sugar, however that is just a matter of opinion. Definitely a keeper.

We use leftover brewed Starbucks from our morning pot of coffee to make this refreshing drink; both decaf and regular caffeinated work equally well. Sometimes I purposely make extra and store it in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator so we have plenty on hand to enjoy later, especially during the hot summer months. We omit the sugar and substitute a generous squirt or two of Hershey's chocolate syrup (hint: it is easier to stir chocolate syrup into cold milk than cold coffee, so if you use the syrup instead of sugar, mix it into the milk first). You can adjust the amounts of coffee and milk to see what proportions provide the best flavor for you (we like pretty much equal amounts of coffee and milk). Unless you are an instant coffee fan, use "real" brewed coffee for best results.

Oh my gosh, even with all the phenomenal reviews I wasn't expecting a drink this good! Made as written, with the darkest "roast" instant coffee and Splenda, and it was like a very sweet latte. Next time for personal preference I will use about 1/2 the sugar. I can't wait to get some of those flavor syrups to customize this - thank you so much for sharing this awesome drink!
