Sinfully Delicious Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cold Brew:
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
- 4 cups cold water
For the Vanilla Sweet Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or 2% preferred)
- 1/4 cup vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)
For the Vanilla Syrup (if making at home):
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cold Brew
- Combine Coffee and Water: In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarsely ground coffee beans with the cold water. Stir to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated.
- Steep: Cover and let steep at room temperature or in the fridge for 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you want your cold brew.
- Strain: Use a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter to strain the coffee grounds from the liquid. Transfer the cold brew to a clean jar or pitcher.
Step 2: Make the Vanilla Syrup (if making at home)
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar.
- Heat: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Cool: Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a bottle or jar for storage.
Step 3: Make the Vanilla Sweet Cream
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl or pitcher, combine the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla syrup.
- Mix: Stir or whisk until well combined. You can also use a blender for a frothier texture.
Step 4: Assemble the Drink
- Fill a Glass: Fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Add Cold Brew: Pour cold brew over the ice, filling the glass about 3/4 full.
- Top with Sweet Cream: Pour the vanilla sweet cream over the top. You can stir it in or let it float for a layered effect.
Optional:
- Adjust Sweetness: Add additional vanilla syrup to taste if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Garnish: Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel syrup for an extra indulgent touch.
Tips
- Cold Brew Storage: Store the cold brew in the fridge for up to two weeks.
- Sweet Cream Storage: Keep the vanilla sweet cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Give it a quick stir before using, as it may separate slightly.
