Brew 240 ml of strong dark coffee using your preferred coffee maker and let it cool to room temperature. For faster cooling, place it in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes.
In a tall glass, add 6 ice cubes to fill the glass halfway.
Pour the cooled coffee over the ice cubes, leaving some room at the top of the glass.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk until fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to taste if desired.
If using, add 15 ml (about 1 tablespoon) of Jamaican rum for a boozy kick.
Add 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract and a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor, then stir well to combine.
Optionally, top the coffee with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of grated nutmeg for garnish.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon to enjoy the layers of flavor.
