- 2 cups milk
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (one scoop per glass)
- 3 tbsp sugar
Method:
Step 1

Health Benefits of cold coffee:
Cold-brew coffee is better for your stomach.When coffee beans are heated up, they release acidic oils. According to testing using the Toddy system, the acid levels in cold-brew coffee are about a third of the levels in hot coffee.
There are definitely benefits to cold-brewed coffee because it’s more alkaline. The body functions best when in a relatively alkaline state.
A more alkaline drink helps your digestive system, which explains why your stomach flips with hot coffee but stays stable with a cold-brew.
