Ingredients

  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream (adjust to taste)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar or preferred sweetener (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coffee: Brew your favorite coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature or chill it in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
  2. Fill Glass with Ice: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to ensure your coffee stays cold without dilution.
  3. Pour Coffee Over Ice: Slowly pour the cooled brewed coffee over the ice in the glass.
  4. Add Milk and Sweetener: Add your preferred amount of milk or cream and sugar or sweetener to the coffee. Stir well until combined and sweetener dissolves.
  5. Serve: Enjoy your refreshing iced coffee immediately for the best taste.

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee to prevent flavor dilution when poured over ice.
  • Adjust sweetness and milk/cream quantity according to your preference.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk or cream with almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Chill the brewed coffee beforehand to reduce ice melting and keep the drink cold longer.
  • Optional: add flavored syrups such as vanilla or caramel for a flavored iced coffee.
