Instructions

- To serve, fill a tall glass with ice cubes to the brim.
- Pour the cold brewed coffee over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, adjusting the sweetness according to your preference.
- Top off the iced coffee with a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating a fluffy layer on top.
- Dust the whipped cream with cocoa powder for an elegant finish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing treat!
Tips

- Try adding a splash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon into the iced coffee for an extra flavor dimension.
- You can also experiment with flavored whipped creams or even add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a richer dessert experience.
