Step 1

Make coffee.There are multiple ways to make the coffee for this drink: Cold brew, strong brewed coffee that has been cooled down, instant coffee, or espresso from a machine. I like using cold brewed coffee for this drink. If you're using drip coffee, make sure to brew it double strength so it's nice and strong.

Step 2

Stir together brown sugar and hot water.I use an electric kettle to boil water. This is how I make a quick simple syrup without cooking anything on the stovetop. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Pour brown sugar simple syrup into a cup and add ice.

Step 4

Slowly add milk, then coffee.Make sure to pour the milk then the coffee onto the ice cubes to help keep the layers separated. Stir before drinking.
