Ingredients

2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 cup ice cubes
1/2 cup milk or half-and-half
1 to 2 tbsp simple syrup or sugar to taste
1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional

Equipment

coffee maker
measuring cups
measuring spoons
spoon
two glasses

Method

Brew the coffee strong so the flavor holds up after chilling, then let it cool to room temperature.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the cooled coffee evenly into the glasses.
Stir in the milk or half-and-half, simple syrup or sugar, and vanilla extract if using.
Mix well, taste, and adjust sweetness as needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly brewed coffee and chill it before serving. You can swap the milk for a dairy-free alternative, and adjust the sweetness to taste.
