Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature. If you prefer extra chilled coffee, place it in the refrigerator to cool for 10-15 minutes before proceeding.
In a glass or mixing container, combine the cooled coffee, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add 1 cup of milk or cream to the coffee mixture and stir well to combine. Adjust the sweetness or creaminess to your preference.
Fill a tall glass with 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour the coffee mixture over the ice, allowing it to settle naturally.
Optional: Top the drink with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream for added richness.
For extra flair, drizzle a small amount of vanilla syrup on top or garnish with a few vanilla bean specks.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy your refreshing iced vanilla coffee!
