Spiced Iced Coffee
Since coffee strength depends on a number of factors (beans used and individual preference) the recipe outlines how I like my coffee and what I found worked best for me.

Ingredients
- Spiced Simple Syrup:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- 2 cinnamon sticks preferably Vietnamese cinnamon
- 1 inch piece of fresh ginger peeled and smashed
- 2 star anise pods broken
- Coffee:
- 7 Tbsp. ground coffee
- 8 oz. hot water
- 2 cups cubed ice
- ½ cup Spiced simple syrup
- ½ cup whipping cream whipped to soft peak stage
Instructions
- For Spiced Simple Syrup:
- Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for ½ hour. Strain and store in refrigerator if not using immediately.
- For coffee: I use a Chemex drip coffee maker but a regular coffee maker works as well. Place the ice in the carafe. Add the coffee to the filter and pour the hot water over.
- While the coffee is brewing, whip the cream to the soft peak stage - the cream will be thick and will hold it's shape but isn't fluffy.
- Fill 4 glasses with ice. Pour the coffee over. Stir in 1 - 2 teaspoons of the spiced simple syrup. Spoon the thickened whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
- Place ice cubes in 4 glasses
