Method
Coffee Base
Brew and sweeten
Brew 2 cups of strong coffee (use 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds per 8 oz cup or your preferred method). While the coffee is still hot, stir in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully dissolved. This creates a sweet coffee concentrate that will remain smooth when cooled.
Allow the sweetened coffee to cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 20–30 minutes. For faster cooling, pour the coffee into a shallow container to increase surface area.
Ice & Milk
Assemble the iced coffee
Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour 1 cup of chilled sweetened coffee over the ice (about half the glass). Add 1 cup milk (or milk of choice) and stir gently to combine.
Garnish (optional)
Drizzle 1 teaspoon chocolate or caramel syrup over the top and finish with 2 tablespoons whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately with a straw.
