- 2 tablespoons cream, milk, or half & half
- 1 to 2 teaspoons granulated white sugar (or simple syrup)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes or coffee cubes if you prefer to keep your drink less diluted.
- Add coffee: Pour 1 cup of room temperature or chilled coffee over the ice, ensuring it fills the glass adequately.

Notes
- Use coffee frozen into ice cubes instead of regular ice to avoid diluting the drink.
