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)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a light simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and let the coffee brew for 5 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
Step 4
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).
Step 5
Once cooled, stir in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of sugar (or sweetener of your choice) until dissolved.
Step 6
Fill two tall glasses with 1.5 cups of ice cubes (divided evenly).
Step 7
Pour the spiced coffee into the glasses until each is about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Top each glass with 0.25 cups of milk (or non-dairy alternative). Stir gently to combine.
Step 9
Garnish with a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spiced Iced Coffee!
