If picking up an iced coffee first thing on the way to work is part of your morning routine, you don't have to do that anymore! Skip the Starbucks drive-through and make your own delicious iced coffee. An easy homemade vanilla simple syrup plus refrigerated Stok cold brew means this drink is ready in a jiffy--no barista needed!
Make the vanilla simple syrup: Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Stir in the vanilla.
Fill a tall glass with ice. Add the cold brew and 1 to 2 tablespoons of the simple syrup. Add desired amount of milk and stir. Serve immediately.
