It’s quick, delicious, and perfectly customizable to your taste. Plus, it only takes 2 minutes to prepare, making it the ultimate go-to beverage when you need a quick caffeine fix.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz cold coffee or cold brew – You can brew your coffee at home or use a store-bought cold brew for convenience.
• 1 tbsp vanilla simple syrup – Either homemade or from the store, depending on your preference.
• 1 cup ice – Or more, based on how icy you like your drink.
• 2-4 tbsp half and half or your favorite creamer – Adjust the amount to match your desired creaminess.

Directions:

1. Pour the Coffee: Start by filling a tall glass (8-12 oz) with cold coffee. This is your canvas, so whether it’s an overnight brew or a quick chill down of your morning leftovers, either works perfectly.
2. Sweeten: Add in 1 tablespoon of vanilla simple syrup. This not only sweetens your iced coffee but also infuses it with a deliciously smooth vanilla flavor that complements the coffee beautifully.
3. Ice, Ice Baby: Toss in a cup of ice. More ice means a cooler drink, but adjust according to how diluted you prefer your coffee.
4. Cream it up: Pour in 2 to 4 tablespoons of half and half or your favorite creamer. This is where you get to play around—some prefer their iced coffee light and brisk, while others enjoy it rich and creamy.
5. Stir and Enjoy: Give it a good stir to mix everything together, and then sip away and enjoy the refreshing taste of your homemade Vanilla Iced Coffee!
