The sweet notes of butter pecan blend seamlessly with the bold flavor of freshly brewed coffee. Trust me, once you’ve had this refreshing treat, you’ll want to make it a staple in your summer routine.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Homemade Dunkin Donuts Butter Pecan Iced Coffee

The key to a great iced coffee lies in its ingredients. When you use fresh and quality components, it elevates the drink from ordinary to extraordinary. The combination of ground coffee, butter pecan flavoring, and sweetened condensed milk create a luxurious taste that’s perfect for hot summer days. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need:

• 16 tablespoons ground coffee: This serves as the base of your drink, providing a strong and robust flavor.
• 40 ounces water: Essential for brewing your coffee; the quality of water affects the overall taste.
• 5 teaspoons LorAnn butter pecan flavoring: This brings that signature sweet and nutty flavor that defines the drink.
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk: Adds sweetness and creaminess to your iced coffee.
• Ice: Necessary for achieving that refreshing iced coffee experience.
• 1½ tablespoons half and half: This adds a rich creaminess to your coffee.

Making This Homemade Dunkin Donuts Butter Pecan Iced Coffee

Making the Homemade Dunkin Donuts Butter Pecan Iced Coffee is a delightful process, and I promise you’ll love every step. Here’s how to do it:

1. To start, I recommend brewing the coffee a day ahead of time. This allows it to chill properly, ensuring you get a refreshing drink. Brew about 16 tablespoons of ground coffee with 40 ounces of water as you usually would, but remember to use one and a half times more coffee than normal. This ensures that the coffee remains strong even when you add ice.
2. Once your coffee has brewed, allow it to cool to room temperature. You can taste it at this point to ensure it’s to your liking. If it’s too strong, you can dilute it with a little water. Once cooled, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
3. Next, it’s time to prepare the butter pecan swirl. In a small bowl, combine 5 teaspoons of LorAnn butter pecan flavoring with a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir well to blend the flavors. This swirl will add a delightful sweetness to your iced coffee.
4. Store your butter pecan swirl in an airtight container, like a canning jar or a squeeze bottle, so it’s ready when you need it.
5. When you’re ready to serve, fill a 16-ounce glass three-quarters full with ice. This will help keep your drink chilled and refreshing.
6. Add about 1½ tablespoons of the butter pecan swirl to the glass over the ice, ensuring it coats the bottom.
7. Next, pour in the chilled coffee until the glass is almost full. You want to leave some space for the half and half.
8. Pour in the half and half to give the coffee a creamy texture and richer taste.
9. Finally, use a bar spoon to mix the half and half and the butter pecan swirl into the coffee gently, creating a beautiful marbling effect.
10. Your Homemade Dunkin Donuts Butter Pecan Iced Coffee is ready to enjoy! Take a moment to appreciate that lovely blend of flavors before diving in.
