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 iced coffee stays cold without becoming diluted.
- Add flavored syrup: Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of your favorite flavored coffee syrup over the ice cubes to add sweetness and flavor.
- Pour chilled coffee: Slowly add the chilled brewed coffee until the glass is about three-quarters full, mixing slightly with the syrup and ice.
- Add cream or milk alternative: Top off the glass with half-and-half or your preferred milk alternative, filling the glass completely for a creamy texture.
- Mix and serve: Stir the iced coffee thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly, then serve immediately for a refreshing drink.
Notes
- Use coffee ice cubes to avoid diluting the iced coffee as the ice melts.
- Adjust the amount of flavored syrup to your taste preference.
- You can substitute half-and-half with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
- Chill your brewed coffee in advance for the best flavor and coldness.
- Add whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra indulgent touch.
