Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strong brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Coconut sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (canned, full-fat, well-shaken)
- 2 cups Crushed ice
Instructions
Brew 2 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method (e.g., espresso machine, French press, or drip). Let the coffee cool to room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to chill.
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Fill two glasses with 1 cup each of crushed ice.
Divide the cooled coffee evenly between the two glasses, pouring it over the ice.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of the prepared coconut sugar syrup to each glass, depending on your desired sweetness level. Stir gently to combine.
Shake or stir the canned coconut milk to ensure it’s fully mixed. Pour 2-4 tablespoons of coconut milk into each glass to finish. The amount depends on how creamy you like your iced coffee.
Stir gently and serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and robust coffee flavors.
