Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- as needed
- Milk
- 1 cup (whole, skim, or dairy-free alternative)
- Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
- Freshly brewed coffee
- 1 cup (cooled)
- Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon (optional for added flavor)
Instructions
- Brew your coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.) and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- In a medium glass, combine the granulated sugar and a small amount (about 2 tablespoons) of the cooled brewed coffee. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a sweet coffee base.
- Pour in the milk and mix well to ensure the sugar is fully incorporated.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.
- Carefully pour the remaining cooled coffee over the ice and milk mixture, allowing it to blend beautifully.
- If desired, add vanilla extract for an extra flavor dimension and stir gently to combine all the elements.
- Serve immediately with a straw or a stirring spoon, and enjoy your homemade Pokka Coffee!
Tips
- For an extra kick, try adding a splash of espresso instead of regular coffee.
- Swap granulated sugar for flavored syrups, such as caramel or hazelnut, for a unique twist.
- You can prepare a larger batch of the coffee base in advance and store it in the refrigerator for quick servings.
