How to make perfect iced coffee

All you have to do is brew your coffee the night before using good-quality coffee beans. That way, it can come to room temperature by the time the morning comes around. Now I have personally never been a fan of pouring hot coffee over ice but if it doesn’t bother you, then you can whip this up in the morning – it’s up to you!

Then you can whip up a batch of simple syrup, but only if you need it. A batch should last you for a few weeks, unless you like to douse your coffee in sugary goodness. No judgment here. Then you can add a splash of milk or half-and-half, although I highly recommend the latter.

This recipe is quick, easy, budget-friendly, and tastes just like the gourmet coffee-shops, if not better!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coffee, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons half and half*, or more, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

  1. To make the simple syrup, combine sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely and stir in vanilla extract; set aside.
  2. Serve coffee over ice with half and half and simple syrup, to taste.

NOTES:

*Milk or cream can be substituted.
