A refreshing vanilla iced coffee is perfect for warm days or whenever you need a cool caffeine fix. This recipe combines smooth coffee with sweet vanilla and creamy milk.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of brewed coffee (chilled) or cold brew concentrate
– Ice cubes
– 1–2 teaspoons of vanilla extract or vanilla syrup
– 1⁄2 cup of milk or cream (dairy or plant‑based)
– Sweetener to taste (sugar, honey, or your preferred sweetener)
– Whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Brew a strong cup of coffee and add your sweetener while the coffee is still hot. Allow it to cool completely or use cold brew concentrate.
2. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
3. Pour the chilled coffee over the ice and stir in the vanilla extract or syrup.
4. Add milk or cream and stir gently to combine.
5. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon or cocoa powder if desired. Enjoy immediately.
Tips:
– Use cold brew for a smoother, less bitter flavour.
– Adjust the amount of vanilla to suit your taste, or experiment with flavoured syrups like caramel or hazelnut.
– For a dairy‑free option, use almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk.
