Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (8 fl oz) cold brew coffee concentrate or ready-made cold brew
- ¼ cup (2 fl oz) heavy cream
- ¼ cup (2 fl oz) milk (whole milk preferred, or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup
- 1 cup (8 fl oz) ice cubes
Instructions
- In a small bowl or mason jar, combine ¼ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener.
- Whisk or froth vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened but still pourable.
- Fill a tall glass with about 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee over the ice. If using concentrate, dilute with an equal part of water before pouring.
- Slowly pour the vanilla sweet cream over the cold brew to create a creamy swirl on top.
- Serve immediately with a straw or stir gently if preferred.
Notes
Use pure vanilla extract for best flavor. Do not overwhip the cream; it should be smooth and pourable. Chill the glass for a longer refreshing experience. Large ice cubes melt slower and prevent dilution. Adjust sweetness gradually to taste. Sweet cream can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated.
