Ingredients
Method
- Brew 1 cup of coffee at double strength and let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the 3 tbsp flavored liquid coffee syrup (and 1 tsp sugar if using) until fully dissolved.
- Add the 1 cup of ice to a tall 16 oz glass and pour the sweetened coffee over the ice.
- Pour the 1/4 cup whole milk over the back of a spoon to create a layer on top, then serve immediately with a tall straw.
Notes
Letting the coffee cool before adding it to ice is the single step most people skip and it makes a real difference to the final strength of the drink. You can brew a big batch of the sweetened coffee base and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days so mornings go faster. Whole milk gives the closest result to the original, but oat milk is a genuinely good swap.
