Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup ice
  • 3 tbsp classic vanilla syrup
  • 3 tbsp 2% milk
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

  1. Brew 2 cups of coffee at double-strength and let it cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  2. Pour the cooled coffee into a tall glass or jar, add the 3 tbsp vanilla syrup and 1 pinch salt, and stir for 20 seconds until fully combined.
  3. Fill a large glass with the 1 cup of ice, pour the coffee mixture over it, add the 3 tbsp milk, and give it one slow stir so the milk ribbons through before serving.

Notes

Cooling the coffee before pouring it over ice is the one step worth not skipping. If you're in a rush, spread the coffee over a baking sheet for 5 minutes to cool it faster. The vanilla syrup and salt can be stirred into the warm coffee before cooling if you want to get ahead of things.
