Note
- Use strong coffee for the best flavor, as the ice and milk will dilute it slightly.
- Try out various milk options to discover which one you like best. Whole milk provides creaminess, while almond or oat milk adds a nutty undertone.
- Chill the coffee before assembling the drink to prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
- For a richer taste, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Sprinkle a little cinnamon or cocoa powder to enhance the flavor.
