Chill & Thrill: 5 Creative Iced Coffee Hacks You Must Try This Summer


Stay cool and energized with these refreshing iced coffee ideas using Yasma’s signature capsules.

When the summer heat rolls in, there’s nothing better than a chilled glass of coffee to lift your mood, keep you cool, and satisfy your cravings. But why settle for basic iced coffee when you can turn your daily brew into an Instagram-worthy, café-style experience — all from the comfort of your kitchen?

Here are five creative iced coffee hacks to elevate your summer coffee game using Yasma Coffee capsules. Whether you prefer a bold Lebanese blend or a refreshing flavored twist, these ideas are easy, delicious, and packed with personality.

1. Coffee Ice Cubes: No More Watered-Down Iced Coffee

Say goodbye to diluted flavor! Brew a batch of your favorite Yasma capsule (we recommend Mazaj Blend) and pour it into an ice cube tray. Freeze overnight. When you're ready for your iced coffee, use these coffee cubes instead of regular ice to keep your drink strong and flavorful until the last sip.

☕ Pro tip: Try flavored cubes with a hint of vanilla or cardamom for an extra kick.

2. Japanese-Style Iced Coffee

This quick-brew method brings out crisp and vibrant flavors. Brew a hot Yasma espresso capsule directly over ice for a refreshing and aromatic cup. The rapid cooling process locks in the aromas while creating a smooth taste.

3. Cold Brew Smoothie

Blend your cold brew with frozen banana, almond milk, a touch of maple syrup, and a scoop of protein powder. The result? A creamy, energizing smoothie that’s perfect for a post-workout boost or a light breakfast.

We recommend using Yasma’s Signature Blonde Roast for a mild, nutty flavor.

4. Cardamom Affogato

Give your dessert a Middle Eastern twist! Scoop vanilla ice cream into a glass, then pour a shot of Yasma’s Cardamom Espresso capsule over the top. The warm, spiced coffee melts into the ice cream, creating a decadent, bittersweet treat.

It’s the ultimate "grown-up dessert."
