Description
A creamy, cinnamon-spiced iced coffee that tastes like a vacation in a glass. Ready in just 10 minutes, this drink uses pantry staples like evaporated milk and condensed milk to create a rich, refreshing summer beverage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cold brew coffee or strong cold coffee
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus sticks for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass to the top with ice cubes.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk directly into the bottom of the glass.
- Pour in the whole milk and evaporated milk, allowing them to swirl together without stirring yet.
- Slowly pour the cold coffee over the ice to create a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top and add vanilla extract.
- Stir everything together with a long spoon until the cinnamon is dissolved and the drink is a uniform light brown color.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or strength if needed, then serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use cold brew coffee which is less acidic. If you don’t have evaporated milk, you can substitute with heavy cream thinned with water, though the texture will be richer. To prevent dilution, freeze extra coffee in ice cube trays. The milk base can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
