0.5 cup milk whole, 2%, almond, or oat milk for dairy-free
0.25 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

Blender
Measuring cup
Whisk
Tall glass

Method

Start by brewing your coffee at double strength. This ensures a robust flavor that won't be diluted by the milk and ice. Allow the brewed coffee to cool completely in the refrigerator. Hot coffee will melt the ice too quickly and water down your drink.
1.5 cups strongly brewed coffee, chilled
In a blender or a large measuring cup, combine the chilled, strongly brewed coffee, milk of your choice, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. The sweetened condensed milk is what gives this iced coffee its signature creamy sweetness and rich texture.

If using a blender, pulse the ingredients a few times to combine. Then, blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. If you don't have a blender, whisk these ingredients together vigorously in a measuring cup until well combined and a little frothy.
Fill a tall glass generously with ice cubes.

Notes

This Creamy Sweet Iced Coffee is best enjoyed immediately after preparation for optimal flavor and texture. However, if you find yourself with leftovers, it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavor may slightly mellow over time, and the texture might become less frothy. Do not reheat this iced coffee; it is meant to be served cold.
