Do you prefer to add a tiny bit of whole milk to your iced milk, just like me? Or do you prefer to add a bit more? You can make this drink however you want.

Because this recipe is made with only iced coffee and some ice cubes for that refreshing touch, I’ll list a few sweeteners that I think will work great with this recipe:

• Cinnamon dolce syrup
• Simple syrup
• Vanilla syrup

I like adding just a splash of milk to my iced coffee. This changes depending on the milk I have in the refrigerator, so sometimes it’s dairy, but I also like dairy-free alternatives like soy milk and almond milk.
