Let’s make it
Coffee Base
Bring the water to a boil in a small pot on the stovetop.
Coffee Base
Add the ground coffee to the boiling water, reduce heat to low, and let steep for 4 minutes to brew a strong coffee.
Coffee Base
Remove the pot from heat and strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a heatproof container. Let cool to room temperature.
Flavoring
In a separate container, combine the cooled brewed coffee with the vanilla syrup and milk, stirring well to blend.
Assembly
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the vanilla coffee mixture over the ice and stir to chill thoroughly.
Assembly
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing stovetop vanilla iced coffee with milk.
Tips & notes
For stronger coffee flavor, increase coffee grounds slightly or steep longer. Use whole milk for a richer creaminess or substitute with a milk alternative as desired. Chill brewed coffee in the fridge if preferred before assembling.
Saving it for later
Store any leftover brewed coffee mixture separate from ice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving again; best consumed fresh.
Reheating
This iced coffee is intended to be served cold and does not require reheating. If reheated, it will lose the refreshing quality and ice cubes will melt.
