This orange-spiced iced coffee recipe is perfect for summer! It’s easy to make, refreshing, and flavorful.
After four days of running around SXSW, I can’t get an iced coffee quickly enough! So today’s orange spiced iced coffee recipe has my name all over it.
It’s been a blast so far, though, and we’ve loved getting to meet a lot some of you over the weekend!
We’re actually working with Cafe Bustelo while we’re here this week.
If you’re in town, you should stop by their pop-up cafe Thursday through Saturday for free coffee and a MUCH needed wi-fi connection (it’s at 507 San Jacinto Blvd. between 11 am and 7 pm if you’re navigating SXSW traffic!).
For those of you that aren’t here, this refreshing (and super simple) drink will keep you tided over, and it’s just in time for spring and summer too…

You can even add a little extra orange flavor by steeping it with more peels or orange zest.

What size french press are you using?
Hi Alex! We used a standard 34-ounce/1 liter French press.
I PERSONALLY never had luck with busteslo in my french press as it was too finely gound. Granted, it will vary by PERSONAL taste, but For How long did you let your brew steep?
Yum!! Where is the french press from? It’s so pretty! Thanks for sharing, i have to try this (:
Hey Whitney! It’s from Crate & Barrel :)

Orange and iced coffee are just perfect together, but I don’t use nutmeg. I must try your version.
Definitely add the nutmeg and clove! It’s gives it a tiny bit of a kick ;)
