Ingredients
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 getting watered down.
- Add Flavored Syrup: Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of your preferred flavored coffee syrup over the ice cubes, providing sweetness and flavor to your drink.
- Pour Chilled Coffee: Slowly pour chilled brewed coffee into the glass until it reaches three-quarters full, mixing slightly with the syrup and ice.
- Add Creamer: Top off the glass by adding half-and-half or your favorite milk alternative to fill the remaining space, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
- Stir and Serve: Stir the mixture well to blend all ingredients evenly, then serve immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- Use coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice to avoid diluting the flavor as the ice melts.
- Adjust the amount of flavored syrup based on your preference for sweetness.
- You can substitute half-and-half with any milk alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, brew the coffee extra strong before chilling.
- Store any leftover brewed coffee in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
