Preparation
Step 1
Brew the coffee however you prefer (pour-over, French press, Aeropress, traditional drip, any method will work).
Step 2
While the coffee is brewing, combine the mint and sweetener in a cocktail shaker (or mason jar). Use a muddler (or the end of a thick wooden spoon) to gently muddle the mint — thoroughly enough so that those yummy minty oils get released, but also not so much that you break it up into a hundred tiny pieces that’ll get stuck in your straw.
Step 3
Fill the shaker with ice. Then pour the hot coffee over the ice, and add a splash of cream if desired.
Step 4
Cover the shaker, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until completely chilled.
Step 5
Transfer the iced coffee to your serving glass (if using a separate glass). Then add a few extra ice cubes if needed, garnish with a sprig of mint, and serve cold!
Step 6

Chef's notes
*If making this vegan, be sure to use non-dairy creamer such as coconut or almond milk.
