Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee concentrate or prepared cold brew coffee
- ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (60 ml) whole milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vanilla syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) granulated sugar
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Cream: In a mixing bowl or jar, combine ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, ¼ cup (60 ml) whole milk, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vanilla syrup, and 1 teaspoon (5 grams) granulated sugar. Whisk vigorously or shake with a lid until smooth and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble the Cold Brew: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee over the ice. Dilute with a splash of water if using strong concentrate to taste.
- Add the Sweet Cream: Slowly pour the prepared vanilla sweet cream over the cold brew. Stir gently before drinking or leave layered and sip through the cream.
Notes
Use cold ingredients to prevent melting ice too fast. Whisk or shake the sweet cream until smooth but not whipped. Use quality vanilla syrup for best flavor. Large ice cubes melt slower and keep drink less diluted. Sweet cream can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days refrigerated. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut or almond milk.
