Ingredients
- Strong brewed coffee

- Ice cubes
- 1 cup
- Sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons (optional)

Instructions
- Start by brewing your coffee. You want it strong to stand up to the other ingredients, so use a dark roast if you can. Allow the coffee to cool slightly.
- In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, vanilla extract, ice cubes, and sugar if desired. The sugar is optional depending on your preference for sweetness.
- Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and frothy. This should take about a minute. Make sure all the ice has been completely crushed.
- Pour the blended mixture into tall glasses, leaving some space at the top for the whipped cream.
- Top each glass with a generous swirl of whipped cream. For a twist, you could use coconut cream for a tropical feel.
- To finish, lightly sprinkle the whipped cream with cocoa powder. This gives a beautiful contrast and adds a touch of chocolatey goodness.
- Serve the Algiers Coffee Coolers immediately. Enjoy them as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or as a satisfying dessert.
