Ingredients

  • 4-6 Ice cubes
  • 8 ounces coffee room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
  • ⅛ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the ice cubes to a 12-ounce glass. Pour in the coffee.
  2. Add the almond extract, then add the heavy cream.
  3. Stir and serve. I like to use a wooden chopstick for stirring.

Notes

  • You can keep any leftovers in the fridge, tightly covered, for 1-2 days. Remember that if you use regular ice cubes, the ice will slowly melt and dilute the flavor of the coffee.
  • Type of coffee: Brewed, French press, espresso.
  • Type of creamer: Heavy cream, half-and-half, whole milk, coconut milk, oat milk, nondairy creamer.
  • Different flavors: Cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, or almond extract.
  • Different sweeteners: Sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, sugar-free syrup, or stevia. The type of sweetener you use will affect the nutrition info for this recipe. 
  • If using cocoa powder or cinnamon, add them to the coffee while it's hot and stir well.
  • Similarly, if using a granulated sweetener, it's best to add it to the hot coffee and stir well.
  • Use frozen coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes for a more concentrated coffee flavor. To make frozen coffee cubes, simply brew some coffee, allow it to cool, pour it into an ice cube tray, and freeze.
