Ingredients
Vanilla Simple Syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla
Ombre Coffee
- Vanilla simple syrup
- Milk as desired
- Coffee as desired
Preparation
Vanilla Syrup
- Combine boiling water, sugar and vanilla extract. Set aside. I made mine on the stove top, but you could make it in the microwave too.
Ombre Vanilla Iced Coffee
- Prep your ingredients. Pour vanilla simple syrup into a cup and add ice.
- Add milk slowly. Pour the milk and coffee over the back of a spoon to keep them from mixing. If you don’t care about the layered presentation you can just pour it in.
- Add the coffee.
- Serve and then stir before drinking.
Pro tip: Adjust the amounts of each layer depending on how strong and sweet you want it to be.
