– 1 teaspoon of crunchy toffee bits for garnish
Instructions
1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method, then let it cool completely to room temperature—this prevents the ice from melting too fast and diluting the flavor.
2. Fill a tall glass with 1/4 cup of ice cubes to chill it thoroughly.
3. Pour 2 tablespoons of rich almond toffee syrup over the ice, swirling it gently to coat the cubes for even sweetness.
4. Add 1/2 cup of cold whole milk to the glass, pouring slowly to create a layered effect if desired.
5. Tip: For a smoother texture, shake the milk and syrup together in a sealed jar before adding to the glass.
6. Carefully pour the cooled coffee over the milk mixture, aiming for the center to maintain the layers.
7. Stir everything gently with a long spoon until well combined, about 10 seconds.
8. Top with 2 tablespoons of sweet whipped cream, spreading it evenly across the surface.
9. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of crunchy toffee bits over the whipped cream for a delightful crunch.
10. Tip: Serve immediately with a straw to mix the layers as you sip, enhancing the flavor experience.
Just imagine that first sip—creamy and cool with a nutty sweetness that lingers on your tongue. The toffee bits add a fun texture contrast, making it feel like a dessert in a glass. Try it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel for an extra twist!
