  1. For the milkshake: Combine 1 cup water and the granulated sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the cinnamon stick and orange zest and let the mixture sit until the flavors infuse, about 5 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick. Add the instant coffee and stir until completely dissolved. Let cool.
  2. Transfer the infused simple syrup and the ice cream to a blender. Blend until smooth. Serve immediately, or keep in the freezer until ready to serve.

I also want to use brewed coffee for the shake recipe!

Really good. I already had a cinnamon flavored simple syrup so I used that and added the instant coffee. I didn’t have an orange so that was left out. I also only made 2 shakes using about a pint of ice cream and about 3/4 cup of simple syrup. Definitely will make again
