Ingredients
  

For the Cold Brew:

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
  • 4 cups cold filtered water

For the Coconut Vanilla Cream:

  • 1 cup canned coconut milk full fat for creaminess
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

To Serve:

  • Ice cubes
  • Extra coconut milk for swirling optional

Instructions
 

Step 1: Brew the Cold Brew

  • In a large jar, combine 1 cup coarsely ground coffee and 4 cups cold filtered water. Stir to make sure all grounds are soaked. Cover and refrigerate for 12-18 hours.

Step 2: Strain the Cold Brew

  • Place a fine-mesh strainer or coffee filter over a clean jar or pitcher. Slowly pour the coffee mixture through to remove the grounds. Discard the grounds.

Step 3: Make the Coconut Vanilla Cream

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup canned coconut milk, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Drink

  • Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, pour in cold brew, and top with coconut vanilla cream. Stir lightly to create swirls of creamy goodness.

Leftovers & Storage

  • 🧊 Cold brew: Store in the fridge for up to 1 week in a sealed container.
  • 🥥 Coconut vanilla cream: Keep in a jar in the fridge for 4-5 days and shake before using.

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.

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.
