Notes
Start with strong coffee and let it cool completely to avoid diluting the drink. This icy beverage is perfect for a hot day when you need a quick caffeine boost. You can adjust the sweetness or milk amount to your preference – try flavored creamers or a dash of vanilla for a different twist. Enjoy your iced coffee as a delicious pick-me-up any time of day!
