- 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 Ice Cubes: Fill ice cube trays with brewed coffee and freeze until solid to create coffee ice cubes that won’t dilute your drink.
- Fill Glass with Ice Cubes: Place 4 to 6 coffee ice cubes into a large glass to chill your iced coffee effectively.
- Add Flavored Syrup: Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of your favorite flavored coffee syrup over the ice cubes in the glass to add sweetness and flavor.
- Pour Chilled Coffee: Slowly pour 3/4 cup of chilled brewed coffee into the glass until it is about three-quarters full, allowing the syrup to mix smoothly.
- Add Cream or Milk Alternative: Fill the remaining space in the glass with 1/4 cup half-and-half or your preferred milk alternative for creaminess.
- Stir and Serve: Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients evenly, then serve immediately to enjoy a refreshing iced coffee.
Notes
- Use brewed coffee ice cubes to prevent dilution of your iced coffee as the ice melts.
- Adjust the amount of flavored syrup to your taste preference for sweetness.
- Choose any milk alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use a dark roast or espresso as the brewed coffee base.
- Serve immediately for optimal taste and freshness.
