Making the Cold Brew Coffee

In a small bowl, mix together the chilled coconut milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and a little thicker.
Serving Instructions
- Put ice cubes in a glass.
- Pour cold brew coffee over the ice, but leave some room for the coconut cream.
- Slowly pour the coconut cream mixture on top, letting it swirl elegantly into the coffee.
- Stir gently (or not—those swirls are so pretty!).
- If you want, you can add toasted coconut flakes on top.
- Enjoy your handcrafted coffee shop delight!
Tips for the Best Coconut Cream Cold Brew
- For the best cold brew, use coffee that has been coarsely ground. Too much fine grind might make it taste bad.
- Put the coconut milk in the fridge overnight. It whips up better when it’s cold!
- For a flawless creamy swirl, shake or whisk the coconut cream right before you pour it.
- Add sugar to taste! If you want it sweeter, you can add additional maple syrup.
- Want it to be even frothier? Use a frother for the coconut cream!
Variations and Substitutions
- No dairy? Don’t use heavy cream; use additional coconut milk instead.
- Coffee that is stronger? Let the cold brew steep for longer, up to 24 hours.
- Different kinds of sweeteners? Try honey, agave, or a sugar-free choice.
- Want more coconut flavor? Put in a few drops of coconut extract.
Storage
- In the fridge, cold brew stays fresh for up to a week.
- You may keep coconut cream in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Just whisk it before you use it!
For the greatest taste, make the drink fresh each time.
