There’s something so comforting about a daily coffee ritual, isn’t there? I still can’t decide whether or not when I actually love coffee or the act of coffee making haha. Either way iced coffee has become one of my favorite ways to practice a little self care and pause before I begin my day at home.

Over the last few months, I’ve shared a few of my go-to iced coffee recipes over on TikTok and y’all have been loving them! So I thought it was time to gather them here in one place for easy access. These are the recipes I come back to again and again. No barista needed! Just a love for a good cup of coffee and a kitchen you feel at home in.

My Morning Coffee Routine (In Real Life)

Jura Coffee Machines in the Home

My iced coffee setup is anything but fancy (well maybe a little fancy haha) but I do keep it simple and consistent, and that’s part of what makes it feel so special. You’ll usually find me reaching for either:

  • A bottle of store-bought Starbucks Cold Brew Unsweet (dark or medium roast—depends on what’s in stock!)
  • Or a couple shots of hot espresso from my Jura machine (worth every single penny by the way!)

From there, it’s just a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Creamer, syrups, sweeteners, and toppings that feel just right in the moment. What matters most is how it makes you feel: cared for, cozy, and refreshed.

So feel free to use these recipes as a starting point. Make them your own. That’s the heart of what we believe here at Just Destiny Mag loving the life you’re building at home with little rituals like this.

A Few Notes Before You Sip

  • Always pour your espresso or cold brew over ice for that café-style chill.
  • Froth your creamer if you want a “TikTok-worthy” finish—it really does make it more fun!
  • Don’t overthink it. Try new combos. Let your taste guide you!
