There’s nothing like combining your favorite breakfast goodies to get you out of bed in the morning. In this case, it’s a combination of iced coffee and cereal. Well technically, just cereal milk, but you get the idea.

We’re one of those people who hates drinking hot coffee on a 100-degree Houston summer day. So we’ve been legitimately obsessed with making iced coffee lately.

KitchenAid’sCold Brew Coffee Maker is insanely easy and so perfect for always having yummy iced coffee on hand. Plus, it’s substantially cheaper than a daily morning coffee run so it pays for itself in no time!

To give your standard morning brew a twist, we’re sharing how to make this Cereal Milk Cold Brew that’s equally as perfect for serving at a summer brunch or during an afternoon entertaining by the pool.

And as its name states, this delicious drink features cereal and cold brew coffee.

Ingredients Needed

Coarseground coffee —When making your own cold brew, coarse ground coffee is best since you’ll be seeping the coffee for over 12 hours. But in cold brew, because you’re steeping them for upwards of 12 hours, you should grind the beans coarsely. Coffee that has been grinded too finely over-extract.​​​​​​​

Filtered water

Milk— Weused coconut milk, but whether it’s oat milk or whole milk, any milk of choice works.

Cereal — We used a mix of Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Chocolate Lucky Charms. If we only had to choose one, we’d opt for the Cinnamon Toast cereal since it pairs well with the coffee flavors.

Whipped cream — Optional

Sweetener — Optional: If you like your coffee sweet, you can add sugar, honey, or any sweetener you prefer.

How to Make Cereal Milk Coffee

You can either buy pre-made cold brew concentrate from the store. But fresh and homemade is always best. Plus, making your own cold brew is so easy!

To make it at home, coarsely grind coffee beans and steep them in cold water for 12-24 hours. Strain out the grounds, and you have cold brew concentrate.

Prepare the cold brew concentrate:

1 — Fill the KitchenAid cold brew coffee maker with coarse ground coffee to the fill line of the steeper. Pour in 4 cups of filtered water and let set for 1 minute. Then, add 2 more cups of water.

2 — Allow the coffee to steep either in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 12-24 hours. If you prefer a lighter brew, 12 hours will do. If you prefer your coffee dark with a bit more umph, let the coffee steep for 24 hours.

3 — Remove the steeper from the cold brew maker and pour coffee over ice in a glass until about 2/3 full. If you do not have a steeper, use a strainer to strain out the grounds.

Prepare the cereal-infused milk:

4 — Pour the milk of your choice into a bowl. Add a generous amount of your chosen cereal. You’re basically just making a bowl of cereal as usual.

5 — Let the cereal soak in the milk for about 5-30 minutes or until the cereal is nice and soggy. This allows the milk to absorb the flavor of the cereal. How long you soak your cereal is a matter of flavor preference.

6 — After soaking, strain the milk to remove the cereal pieces. You can use a fine-mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or a coffee filter.

To make the drink:

5 — In a glass, combine your desired amount of cold brew concentrate with the cereal-infused milk. Stir well. You can adjust the ratio to your taste preference. We filled our glass 2/3 high with cold brew.

6 — Optional: Add a splash of sweetener and whipped cream. Top with additional cereal.
