For the Cold Brew:

• 1 cup coarsely ground coffee

Pro Tips 💡

✅ Use coarsely ground coffee – Too fine, and your cold brew might taste bitter.
✅ Chill overnight for the best flavor – 12-18 hours is the sweet spot!
✅ Shake your coconut milk – It separates in the can, so mix it well before using.
✅ Sweeten to taste – Add more or less maple syrup based on your preference.
✅ Make it extra frothy – Blend the coconut vanilla cream for a super smooth texture.

Tools You’ll Need

✔ Large jar or pitcher
✔ Fine-mesh strainer or coffee filter
✔ Small bowl & whisk
✔ Tall glass for serving

Substitutions & Variations

✨ Swap the sweetener – Try honey, agave, or a sugar-free option.
✨ Go dairy-free or not – Regular milk or half & half works, too!
✨ Make it stronger – Use more coffee grounds for a bolder brew.
✨ Turn it into a frappe – Blend it with ice for a frozen treat!

Make-Ahead Tips

• Cold brew stays fresh for up to a week in the fridge. Make a big batch and enjoy it all week!
• Coconut vanilla cream keeps for 4-5 days – Store it in a jar and shake before using.
