Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom (optional)
- 2 tablespoons low-fat sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk or low-fat milk
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 pinch optional garnish: ground cinnamon or additional cardamom
Instructions
Brew 2 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method, such as a drip coffee maker or French press. Allow the coffee to cool to room temperature or refrigerate it for faster chilling.
If desired, mix the ground cardamom into the hot coffee for a touch of warm, aromatic spice.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the low-fat sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened almond milk (or low-fat milk). Stir well until fully blended.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, dividing the ice evenly.
Pour the chilled coffee into the glasses, filling each about three-quarters of the way full.
Divide the milk mixture evenly between the glasses, pouring it slowly over the coffee.
Stir gently to combine the coffee and milk layers. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired, adding more sweetened condensed milk as needed.
Optionally, garnish with a pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom on top for an extra aromatic touch.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy your low-fat Thai iced coffee!
