Creamy Vanilla Cinnamon Iced Coffee

This recipe mimics your favorite high-end coffee shop drinks using simple, wholesome ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.

1.5 cups strong coffee, chilled (cold brew or leftover drip coffee works great)
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3–4 drops liquid monk fruit extract (adjust to your preferred sweetness)
1 dash cinnamon
1 cup ice

Combine the Flavors: In a large glass or tumbler, pour in the chilled coffee and the heavy whipping cream.
Season: Add the vanilla extract, monk fruit drops, and the dash of cinnamon.
Mix: Stir well until the cinnamon is incorporated and the cream is fully blended with the coffee.
- Tip: If the cinnamon clumps, you can whisk the cream and cinnamon together first before adding them to the coffee.
Chill: Fill the glass to the top with ice. Give it one final quick stir to chill the drink through.
Optional “Bulletproof” Version: If you want a more satiating morning drink, you can blend in a teaspoon of MCT oil or coconut oil before adding the ice.

The Cream: Heavy whipping cream gives it a velvety mouthfeel that lower-fat milks can’t match.
The Spice: Cinnamon doesn’t just add flavor; it provides a natural “warmth” that complements the bitterness of strong coffee.
The Sweetener: Monk fruit provides a clean sweetness without the aftertaste often associated with other alternatives.
