4tablespoonsof half and half
For simple syrup –
½cupsugar
1cupwater
For serving-
⅓cupchilled water or ice cubes
Scoop of vanilla ice creamoptional
Instructions
Brew coffee in coffee maker. I usually brew my coffee previous night so the coffee is ready and cooled down to room temperature. We are making iced coffee, hot coffee is no-no. We need coffee at room temperature or chilled.
To make simple syrup – stir sugar and water in sauce pan over medium heat. Keep stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Pour coffee, simple sugar and half and half into serving glass, Stir well. Top it with ice and serve it immediately.
Notes
If you like frothy iced coffee , then just blend the coffee mix in blender for few seconds and serve it immediately. I also like to sprinkle some fresh roasted coffee powder over my coffee before serving. This step is completely optional.Pic from 2016
