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 glass: Fill a large glass halfway with coffee ice cubes to chill your drink without diluting its flavor as the cubes melt.
- Add flavored syrup: Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of your favorite flavored coffee syrup over the ice cubes to infuse the drink with sweetness and flavor.
- Pour chilled coffee: Slowly add the chilled brewed coffee until the glass is about three-quarters full, allowing the syrup to mix gradually with the coffee.
- Add half-and-half or milk alternative: Top off the glass by pouring the half-and-half or your preferred milk alternative to fill the glass, creating a creamy texture.
- Stir and serve: Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients and serve immediately for a refreshing iced coffee experience.
Notes
- Use coffee ice cubes made from brewed coffee to prevent dilution.
- Adjust the amount of flavored syrup to taste, depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- Milk alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk work well for a dairy-free version.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract.
- This recipe is ideal for a single serving and can be easily scaled up for more servings.
