Notes

Ingredient Notes/Substitutions

Strong brewed coffee. You can use instant coffee and water instead of regular brewed coffee. Or use cold brew coffee.
Simple syrup. You can use flavored syrups or honey in place of homemade simple syrup.
Heavy cream. whole milk, coffee creamer, etc. are good substitutes for heavy cream. Or you can use a dairy-free milk like coconut milk, oat milk, etc.
Ice. I suggest using coffee ice cubes so the ice doesn't dilute the flavor.

You can also use homemade coffee creamer, or pumpkin coffee creamer, instead of simple syrup and cream.

Store
