Ingredients
1 cup (240ml) brewed coffee, cooled
1/2 cup (120ml) milk (or preferred plant-based alternative)
1–2 tablespoons sweetener (sugar, honey, or syrup)
Ice cubes, to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Brew 1 cup (240ml) of coffee using your preferred drip or pour-over method.
Allow the brewed coffee to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator to chill completely.
Fill a tall glass to the top with ice cubes.
In a separate container, combine the chilled coffee, sweetener, and vanilla extract; stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Pour the sweetened coffee mixture over the prepared ice.
Slowly pour the milk over the coffee to create a beautiful layered effect.
Stir the drink gently before serving to incorporate the flavors.
Notes
Prepare the coffee the night before to ensure it is thoroughly chilled. Use leftover coffee to make coffee ice cubes so the drink does not become diluted as the ice melts. Adjust sweetness based on the coffee roast; darker roasts may benefit from extra sweetener.
