Iced Coffee

Perfect Iced Coffee and no coffee maker required! It's made from a concentrated homemade cold brew, then finished with creamy half and half, sweet sugar, a hint of vanilla and plenty of ice. It's such a refreshing drink on a hot day!

Ingredients
- 4 cups prepared strong coffee chilled, or cold brew diluted with water to taste
- 1/4 cup sugar,** or to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup half and half,*** divided
- plenty of ice
Instructions
- Stir sugar and vanilla in with the coffee until sugar is dissolved.
- When ready to serve fill four cups with plenty of ice. Pour 1/4 of the mixture over each cup of ice.
- Pour in 1/4 cup half and half. Stir and serve.
Notes
- *If you don't have a coffee grinder you could use store-bought coarsely ground coffee such as gevalia brand which is good in this recipe. Another option is to use whole beans and to try blending a food processor to a coarse consistency.

- **Raw sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, honey or maple syrup will all work well. Even 1/4 to 1/2 tsp stevia blend could be substituted per serving.
- ***Whole milk or heavy cream can be used in place of half and half. If you'll want to add about 1/2 cup whole milk per serving. Another good option would be to use canned coconut cream or canned coconut milk. You can make it a bit healthier and use almond milk, just dilute with almond milk instead of water.
- Another option to making iced coffee is just to brew a standard cup of coffee in your coffee maker, using something like a Keurig and pods (I like this one and brew pods like these).
- Let the hot coffee chill thoroughly in the fridge. Then sweeten as desired, stir in plenty of ice, a small splash of vanilla, and half and half or cream.
- For the ratios you'll want about 1 cup dark or medium chilled coffee, 1/4 cup half and half, 1 Tbsp sugar and 1/4 tsp of vanilla. And don't forget the ice of course.
