- 2 tablespoons of ground coffee
- 1 cup of water
- 1/2 cup of milk or cream
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of simple syrup or sweetener of choice
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Vanilla extract or cocoa powder for flavor
Brew 1 cup of coffee using your preferred method. Strong brew works best for iced coffee as it doesn’t get diluted when mixed with ice.
Once brewed, let your coffee cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes, or until chilled.
Fill your glass with ice cubes to the top. If using, add a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cocoa powder over the ice.
Pour the chilled coffee over the ice. Add the milk or cream and sweetener to your liking. Stir well until the coffee looks creamy and is well combined.
