Instructions
- Brew coffee in a coffee maker. Best to make the coffee a few hours ahead, so it's not hot. I usually let the coffee steep overnight, strain it, and chill it before using it.
- To make sugar syrup, simply boil ½ cup sugar with ½ cup water until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid turns thick. Chill completely before use.
- Fill up a glass with ice cubes.
- Pour room-temperature coffee into the glass.
- Pour simple syrup to your taste preference.
- Finally, pour half-and-half or full-cream milk. Stir well. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Using strong coffee concentrate is crucial. I prefer a 4:1 ratio that yields medium-strong coffee. You can do it to your taste preference, try the 6:1 ratio or 8:1 ratio. Freshly ground - use roasted coffee beans to make ground coffee, it has the best aroma. If using store-bought ground coffee, buy premium quality coffee for the best taste. Brew coffee overnight so it has enough time to cool down. I let the coffee steep overnight, strain it, and chill it before using it. Jazz it up - feeling adventurous? Flavor your coffee. Add pumpkin pie spice to coffee to make it perfect for winter, add cinnamon powder, a dash of Vanilla extract, and sea salt sprinkled on top with whipped cream, and make it decadent with a little Cocoa powder or alcohol! Vodka, rum, brandy, or other dark liquors work. If you like a frothy coffee, blend everything in a blender for a minute or two. It will turn frothy, and serve immediately.
