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.
