hot fresh brewed coffee
coffee ice cubes
vanilla or coffee flavored ice cream

Steps:

1. Pour hot coffee over ice cubes in each tall glass and top with a generous scoop of ice cream. Serve with long handled spoon and straw. This recipe has no specific measurements. It depends on how much coffee you are making and need to serve. Based on a 12 cup coffee maker, it would make as much as 12 cups.

Tips:

Use high-quality coffee and ice cream for the best flavor.
For a richer flavor, use cold brew coffee or espresso.
If you don't have an ice cream scoop, use a spoon to create a quenelle (oval-shaped scoop) of ice cream.
Garnish your coffee float with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or a cherry for a special touch.
For a vegan coffee float, use dairy-free ice cream and almond milk or soy milk.
