Optional chill or froth
If you prefer cold half & half, chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes. For a frothier texture (great over hot coffee), use a small handheld frother and froth the mixture for 10–20 seconds.

To serve over iced coffee
Fill a glass with ice (about 6 cubes), pour 1 cup cold brew or strongly brewed coffee over the ice, and add 2–4 tablespoons of the prepared half & half to taste. Stir gently to combine. Add simple syrup if additional sweetness is desired.

To serve with cinnamon
Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon over the top or whisk a pinch into the half & half before adding to coffee for a spiced note.

Storage
Store leftover prepared half & half in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake before each use as separation may occur.
