Scale
- 3 cups milk (any fat you prefer)
- 1 vanilla bean, or 1/2 tsp ground vanilla bean
- 3 cups strong coffee, brewed and cooled to room temperature
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the milk and vanilla bean (scrape the seeds into the milk, but add the entire pod, too). Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove the milk from the heat, take out the vanilla pod, and let cool to room temperature.
- Save one cup of the milk and one cup of the coffee for your drink (adjust your proportions to your taste), and make the rest into ice cubes — do not combine (you can, if you want, but I liked the look of some coffee and some vanilla milk cubes!).
- When your cubes are totally frozen, make your coffee and add the ice cubes! You'll never have diluted iced coffee again!
