Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by brewing 1 cup of your favorite coffee. You can use a coffee maker, French press, or any method you prefer. Allow the coffee to cool slightly, or you can prepare it in advance and refrigerate it for a chilled drink.
- While the coffee is cooling, gather your ingredients: 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup, and a handful of ice cubes.
- In a tall glass, add the ice cubes to your desired level. This will keep your iced coffee refreshingly cold.
- Pour the brewed coffee over the ice cubes, filling the glass about halfway.
- Add 1/2 cup of almond milk to the coffee. This will give your drink a creamy texture while keeping it dairy-free and healthy.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to sweeten your iced coffee. You can adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
- Give the drink a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients well.
- Optionally, you can garnish your iced coffee with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a cinnamon stick for added flavor.
- Your healthy iced coffee drink is now ready to enjoy! Sip it slowly and savor the refreshing taste.
Tips
- Coffee Temperature Matters: Allow your brewed coffee to cool slightly or pre-chill it in the refrigerator for the best taste and to prevent dilution when adding ice.
- Milk Alternatives: While almond milk works great, feel free to experiment with other plant-based milks like oat, coconut, or soy for different flavor profiles.
- Sweetener Flexibility: Adjust the vanilla syrup to your taste. For a healthier option, try using stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or a small amount of honey.
- Ice Cube Hack: Consider freezing coffee in ice cube trays to prevent your drink from becoming watery as the ice melts.
- Flavor Boosters: Enhance your drink with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of cocoa powder, or a few drops of vanilla extract for extra depth.
- Prep Ahead: You can brew the coffee the night before and store it in the refrigerator for a quick morning drink.
- Customize Your Drink: Don't be afraid to experiment with different syrups, spices, or even a shot of protein powder to make this drink uniquely yours!
