Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (8 fl oz) strong brewed coffee (dark roast recommended)
- Ice cubes (enough to fill your glass)
- ½ cup (4 fl oz) milk or cream (whole milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream; oat milk or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener (adjust to taste; brown sugar or simple syrup optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Brew 1 cup (8 fl oz) of strong coffee using your preferred method; aim for a dark roast and slightly stronger than usual (about 5 minutes).
- While the coffee is still hot, stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar (or to taste) and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Let the sweetened coffee cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to avoid dilution from ice.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving room for coffee and cream.
- Pour the cooled coffee over the ice, then add ½ cup (4 fl oz) of milk or cream.
- Stir gently with a spoon or whisk to blend smoothly; optionally use a handheld frother for extra creaminess.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or creaminess if desired by adding more sugar or cream.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Use strong coffee to balance cream and ice dilution. Sweeten while coffee is hot to avoid grainy texture. Cool coffee before adding ice to prevent dilution. Whole milk or half-and-half gives best creaminess; dairy-free options like oat milk work well. Frothing cream adds silky texture. Brew fresh coffee and chill quickly for best flavor. Adjust sweetness and creaminess to taste.
