How to Make Iced Coffee Float

  1. Brew 8 ounces of ground coffee using 24 ounces of water for a double-strength brew. (Use Starbucks coffee for optimal flavor!)
  2. Once brewed, pour the coffee into a pitcher.
  3. Add 24 ounces of ice to the pitcher and stir gently.
  4. Refrigerate the iced coffee for at least 30 minutes to allow it to fully chill.
  5. Place two scoops of vanilla ice cream into each serving glass or bowl.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup (approximately 60ml) of the chilled iced coffee over the ice cream.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 tablespoon of cocoa powder (or more, to taste) over the ice cream.
