Ingredients
- 3/4 cup chilled brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup half-and-half or milk alternative
- 2–3 teaspoons flavored coffee syrup
- 4–6 coffee ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a large glass halfway with coffee ice cubes to ensure your drink stays cold without watering it down.
- Add Syrup: Pour 2–3 teaspoons of your preferred flavored coffee syrup over the ice cubes to add sweetness and flavor.
- Pour Coffee: Slowly add the chilled brewed coffee until the glass is about three-quarters full, blending the coffee with the syrup and ice.
- Add Cream: Top off the drink by adding half-and-half or your chosen milk alternative to fill the glass completely, creating a creamy texture.
- Mix and Serve: Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients evenly and serve immediately for a refreshing iced coffee experience.
Notes
- Use coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice to avoid diluting the flavor as they melt.
- Adjust the amount of flavored syrup according to your sweetness preference.
- Feel free to substitute half-and-half with any milk alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Chill brewed coffee ahead of time for best results and a cold final drink.
- Try different flavored syrups like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut for variety.
