Description

A refreshing and easy-to-make homemade iced coffee that combines chilled brewed coffee, flavored syrup, and creamy half-and-half or milk alternative served over coffee ice cubes for a perfectly chilled beverage.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup chilled brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half or milk alternative
  • 23 teaspoons flavored coffee syrup
  • 46 coffee ice cubes


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass: Fill a large glass halfway with coffee ice cubes to ensure your iced coffee stays cold without getting watered down.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour Chilled Coffee: Slowly pour chilled brewed coffee into the glass until it reaches three-quarters full, mixing slightly with the syrup and ice.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
