Pour the cooled coffee over the ice cubes, leaving some room at the top of the glass.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to taste if desired.
If using, add 15 ml (about 1 tablespoon) of Jamaican rum for a boozy kick.
Add 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor, then stir well to combine.
Optionally, top the coffee with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of grated nutmeg for garnish.
