- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- for topping whipped cream (optional)
- optional vanilla bean (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew a strong batch of coffee to your liking, ensuring you have 2 cups once brewed. Allow it to cool to room temperature or refrigerate for faster cooling.
In a small mixing bowl or directly into the coffee, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Fill two tall glasses with 3/4 cup of ice cubes each (about 1.5 cups total).
Divide the cooled coffee mixture evenly between the two glasses, pouring it over the ice.
Add 1/2 cup of half-and-half to each glass. Stir well to combine.
If desired, top with whipped cream and garnish with a vanilla bean for elegance.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
