Ingredients

2 servings

2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
Ingredient note
Pregnancy guidance caps caffeine at about 200 mg a day, and one serving of this uses about half of it - roughly 96 mg. Have just one serving and skip other caffeinated drinks that day.
1 cup whole milk or dairy free milk
2 cups ice cubes

For the herb simple syrup

¼ cup water
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves (or fresh basil or fresh rosemary sprigs)

For serving

2 fresh herb sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
2
Add the fresh mint (or your chosen herb) to the hot syrup and press the leaves gently with a spoon to submerge them. Let steep for 20–30 minutes, until the syrup is fragrant and lightly tinted.
