From-Scratch Ice Java

Having coffee syrup in the fridge is a lot more space efficient and long lasting than storing a big gallon bottle of iced coffee. It’s a great shortcut to breakfast!

Yields 2 cups syrup; Use 1 tablespoon per 8-ounce cup

Easy Vegetarian Pescatarian Gluten Free Dairy

Contains: Dairy

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients in a pot and bring to a low simmer. Simmer for five minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a squeeze bottle or a glass jar.

  2. When ready to use, add about three to four tablespoons syrup to a 16-ounce (450-milliliter) cup of milk.

    Add ice cubes and enjoy!

Notes:
Did you know that Ice Java is caffeinated? I assumed it wasn’t, which is why I let my kids drink it! I like that I could use decaf in this homemade version. I’m happy when they drink milk, and if this is what will make them do it, I can live with that.

Please clarify
Early on in the recipe it says Use 1 tablespoon per 8-ounce cup
Later it states
add about three to four tablespoons syrup to a 16-ounce (450-milliliter) cup of milk. 
Also how is 16 oz = 450 ml?

Thank you

This is delicious! One small thing, keep an eye on it when it simmers. I looked away for a minute and it boiled over. Not fun to clean hot sticky syrup from my cooktop…
