Drink · Morning Roundup
Peanut butter iced coffee
Peanut butter, in coffee, over ice. Do not knock it.
Nutty, sweet and thicker than it has any right to be. Morning Roundup already tastes of toasted pecan — this just leans in.
What you need
- 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 shot Western Tamp Morning Roundup, brewed as espresso or very strong
- 120ml milk
- Ice, as much as the glass will take
The roast for this Morning Roundup From £11.95 How to make it
-
Melt the peanut butter into the hot coffee
Peanut butter, honey and the hot shot in a jug, stirred until completely smooth. This only works while the coffee is hot — do it cold and you get lumps you will never get rid of.
-
Into the glass
Pour the mixture into your serving glass.
-
Add the milk
Half a cup, mixed through properly.
-
Ice last, then stir again
Fill with ice and give it one more stir. It thickens as it chills.
Why it works
Fat and salt are both flavour carriers, and peanut butter brings plenty of each. The salt in particular suppresses bitterness, so a light-medium roast comes across sweeter and nuttier than it does black.
Worth knowing
- Smooth, not crunchy — crunchy blocks the straw and never fully blends.
- A frother makes this considerably better.
- Stir thoroughly. Lumps are the only way this goes wrong.
