Vanilla Mint Iced Coffee
Creamy, subtly sweet, Vanilla Mint Iced Coffee on repeat! Smooth and lush thanks to the cold brew and oat milk, with a special blend of flavor from bright, fresh mint, and a gently split whole vanilla bean.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- fresh mint (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup mint leaves, or one .75 ounce package)
- vanilla bean (optional – see notes)
- 1/2 cup strong cold brew
- 1 cup oatmilk, or milk of choice
- 2 -3 tablespoons mint syrup
- a couple of ice cubes
Steps
-
Add the water, sugar, and mint to a small saucepan and bring to a low simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup tastes like mint. If using the vanilla bean, split it down the middle and scrape out the seeds; add both the seeds and pod to the saucepan for simmering. Store the simple syrup in the fridge – you can even leave the mint leaves and/or vanilla bean in the jar to concentrate the flavor further. (I usually pull out the mint after a day or two.)
-
To make the iced coffees, just pour the cold brew, milk of choice, and as much simple syrup as you want into a glass with ice cubes.
