I just love coffee…I love it hot, warm, cold and sweet. This Vanilla Iced Coffee is the perfect combination. If you add a lot of ice cubes you will get a cool, refreshing drink or add less ice and you’ll get a warm, sweet drink. I honestly love to make this both ways but they best part is, the vanilla flavoring that makes it just the perfect sweetness. You can always add a little sugar if needed but I love it with just the vanilla syrup and a little cinnamon. Enjoy…
Vanilla Iced Coffee
(Print Recipe Below)
Ingredients:

- Milk or cream
Vanilla Simple Syrup (makes a large amount which can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks to use over and over again for more iced coffee drinks!):
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
- Prepare the Vanilla simple syrup – Bring sugar and water to a boil stirring until sugar dissolves, add in vanilla and let cool. You can keep this in the fridge for about 2 weeks if covered and use it for your iced coffee drinks throughout the week.

- Pour the hot coffee over the ice

May 4, 2015 at 2:42 pmWould it be good to mix, 1 cup milk, 1 cup sugar and then the vanilla (for the vanilla flavoring), for a creamier taste?
Hari says
February 24, 2017 at 5:59 amIf you want a creamier taste, use half and half or light cream. You would run the chance of scalding the milk and burning the sugar if you weren’t careful, plus it wouldn’t be a syrup.

June 18, 2015 at 2:17 pmHow long do you have to let the hot syrup cool after you boil it.

December 16, 2016 at 12:05 pmJust to blood temperature (you can tell it’s blood temperature when you stick a clean finger in it and you can’t feel the liquid around it)

September 5, 2015 at 2:51 pmI just made this and it was good! A little goes a long way, though. It’s super sweet! It actually reminds me of the vanilla iced coffee at Chick-fil-a. Thanks for sharing the recipe/instructions.

April 5, 2018 at 7:40 pmCan you give a ballpark starting point for how much milk/cream and how much of the vanilla syrup mix to add to one cup (8 oz.) of coffee?
Cheryl says
May 1, 2018 at 6:29 pmMine came out really bitter, even with alot of milk and syrup. How much water is supposed to be mixed with the 1 cup of coffee?
Samantha says
June 4, 2018 at 5:44 pmThis sounds really good. But by using vanilla, is it vanilla essance or something else?
Tiffany says
August 1, 2018 at 11:30 pmDoesn’t it water the drink down by pouring hot coffee over ice

November 8, 2018 at 3:17 pmJust a tip! If you want to add in sugar, add it to the hot coffee. It will be easier to dissolve than if you add it to the cold coffee!
