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
- Add Ice Cubes: Fill a large glass halfway with coffee ice cubes to keep the drink chilled without diluting the flavor.
- Add Syrup: Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of your favorite flavored coffee syrup into the glass over the ice cubes for sweetness and flavor.
- Pour Coffee: Slowly add chilled brewed coffee until the glass is about three-quarters full, allowing the syrup to swirl and blend.
- Add Cream: Top off the glass with half-and-half or your preferred milk alternative to add creaminess and balance the taste.
- Stir and Serve: Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly, and enjoy your freshly made iced coffee immediately.
Notes
- Use coffee ice cubes to prevent your drink from becoming diluted as the ice melts.
- Adjust the amount of flavored syrup to taste depending on how sweet you like your coffee.
- You can substitute half-and-half with any milk alternative like almond, oat, or soy milk for a vegan option.
- For stronger coffee flavor, use a dark roast or concentrate your brewed coffee.
- Prepare coffee ice cubes ahead of time by freezing brewed coffee in an ice cube tray.
