Instructions
- Brew the Coffee: Brew your favorite strong coffee and allow it to cool completely either at room temperature or by chilling it in the refrigerator to prepare the coffee base.
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a tall glass to the brim with ice cubes to keep the drink cold and refreshing.

- Chill the coffee ahead of time to avoid excessive melting of ice and dilution of flavors.
- The whipped cream garnish is optional but adds a creamy, decadent touch to your iced coffee.
