Notes

  • For the cheapest option, use instant coffee dissolved in cold water.
  • For a richer taste, use cold brew or double-strength coffee.
  • Homemade vanilla syrup: Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Heat sugar and water until dissolved, then stir in vanilla. Cool before using.
  • Adjust sweetness and creaminess to your taste.
  • Oat milk, almond milk, or any non-dairy alternative can be used.
  • Double or triple the recipe for a larger batch.
