This Salted Maple Cinnamon Cold Brew is a cozy, fall-inspired coffee drink that combines smooth cold brew, real maple syrup, warm cinnamon, and a pinch of flaky sea salt. It’s quick, easy, and customizable for any dietary preference—perfect for a sweet-salty pick-me-up at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee (240 ml)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (15–30 ml), to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (1 g)
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk or cream (60–80 ml, optional; use whole milk, half-and-half, heavy cream, or non-dairy milk)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel)
  • Ice (enough to fill glass halfway)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cold brew: Use 1 cup (240 ml) of cold brew coffee. If making from scratch, steep 1 cup (85 g) coarsely ground coffee in 4 cups (950 ml) filtered water for 12-18 hours in the fridge, then strain.
  2. In a large glass, add 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir well until the cinnamon dissolves into the syrup. If needed, microwave the syrup for 10 seconds to help blend.
  3. Pour the cold brew over the maple-cinnamon mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Fill the glass halfway with ice (coffee ice cubes if desired).
  5. Top with 1/4 to 1/3 cup milk or cream, pouring slowly for a layered effect or stirring for a blended drink. Froth milk first if desired.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top. Taste and adjust sweetness, creaminess, or salt as desired.

Notes

For best results, use real maple syrup and flaky sea salt. Mix cinnamon into the syrup to avoid clumping. Adjust sweetness and milk to taste. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk. Prep the maple-cinnamon base ahead for quick assembly. Coffee ice cubes prevent dilution. For a hot version, heat the maple, cinnamon, and milk, then add to hot coffee.
