Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Ice, as needed to fill two tall glasses
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup milk or cream (your choice of dairy or non-dairy milk)
  • 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee or two shots of espresso

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ice and glasses: Fill two tall glasses with ice to keep the drink properly chilled and to help layer the ingredients effectively.
  2. Add vanilla syrup: Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup into each glass, adjusting the amount to your preferred sweetness level.
  3. Pour the milk: Evenly divide 1 cup of milk or cream between the two glasses, pouring it over the ice and syrup to chill and dilute the syrup slightly for balanced flavor.
  4. Top with coffee: Carefully pour a shot of espresso or ½ cup of strong brewed coffee into each glass, adding warmth and rich coffee flavor.
  5. Mix and serve: Gently stir each glass to combine all the layers, then insert a straw and enjoy immediately for the best taste and refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Use any milk variety – whole, skim, almond, soy, oat, or cream – depending on your preference.
  • Adjust vanilla syrup according to your desired level of sweetness.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso shots instead of brewed coffee.
  • This drink is best served immediately to enjoy the contrasting layers of flavor and temperature.
  • For a dairy-free version, opt for plant-based milk and ensure the vanilla syrup is vegan-friendly.
