The Iced Coffee Edit - French Vanilla //

If anyone knows anything about me, it is that I can't start the day without a good cup of coffee. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge on my favourite instant coffee, how to choose the right bean and what it takes to add the perfect amount of syrup. So, I thought that I would compile a small and easy recipe to make the perfect french vanilla iced coffee for those days where you need a little fancy pick me up.

I decided to use a coffee machine to make this, but instant coffee works just the same. The first step to getting a scrumptious iced coffee is freezing those cubes. Make sure you prepare ice before this as it's a fundamental component, funny enough. I am a coffee then milk girl, but whatever does it for you. I pour the cold almond milk over the coffee and put in a few ice cubes to taste. Then I add a dash of vanilla extract and my secret ingredient; vanilla bean maple syrup. This adds a unique sweetness to the drink and is my little end of week treat. And voila! you are done, give it a little swirl and you are ready to settle down and start your day. There are many variations of this drink, for instance in the autumn months you can opt for a dash of cinnamon and hazelnut milk. Thats the beauty of food, everything is unique to your taste.

Whats your favourite way of drinking coffee?
