Scale
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 the coffee ice cubes to keep your drink chilled without diluting the flavor.
- Add flavored syrup. Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of your preferred flavored coffee syrup over the ice cubes for a sweet, aromatic note.
- Pour brewed coffee. Slowly add chilled brewed coffee until the glass is about three-quarters full, balancing the strength of the coffee.
- Add half-and-half or milk alternative. Top off the glass with half-and-half or your choice of milk alternative to achieve a creamy texture and soften the coffee’s intensity.
- Stir and serve. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to blend the flavors and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice to prevent watering down the iced coffee as it melts.
- Adjust the amount of flavored syrup based on your sweetness preference.
- Try different flavored syrups such as vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut to customize your iced coffee.
- For a vegan version, substitute half-and-half with almond, soy, or oat milk.
