Method

Brewing Coffee

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Using your preferred method (drip, pour-over, or French press), brew 2 cups of fresh coffee. Ensure the coffee is strong and flavorful since it will be diluted by ice.

  2. 2

    Sweeten the Coffee

    Once the coffee is brewed, add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the hot coffee. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  3. 3

    Add Vanilla

    Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the sweetened coffee and mix well.

Assembling Iced Coffee

  1. 4

    Prepare the Glass

    In a tall glass, fill it with 1 cup of ice cubes.

  2. 5

    Pour the Coffee

    Carefully pour the brewed coffee mixture over the ice-filled glass.

  3. 6

    Add Milk (Optional)

    If desired, add 0.5 cups of milk to the iced coffee for a creamier texture. Stir gently to combine.
