Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons ground coffee
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a light simmer over medium heat.
Add 4 tablespoons of ground coffee, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground cardamom to the simmering water. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the coffee brew for 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter into a heatproof container. Let it cool to room temperature for about 20 minutes (or speed up the cooling process by placing it in the fridge).
Once cooled, stir in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of sugar (or sweetener of your choice) until dissolved.
Fill two tall glasses with 1.5 cups of ice cubes (divided evenly).
Pour the spiced coffee into the glasses until each is about three-quarters full.
Top each glass with 0.25 cups of milk (or non-dairy alternative). Stir gently to combine.
Garnish with a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spiced Iced Coffee!
