Ingredients
- Cold Brew Coffee
- Milk
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Molasses
- Vanilla Extract
- Water
- Brown Sugar
- Ground Cinnamon
- Sea Salt
Instructions
First you will want to make cold brew. You can use a cold brew pitcher or simply a large jar with a lid. I like to use coarse ground coffee so I don't end up with a coffee sludge at the bottom of the pitcher from fine ground coffee.
Then in a one cup glass microwave safe measuring cup you will add the water, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine and then set aside.
In a small bowl or measuring cup add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, molasses and vanilla. Using a milk frother whisk the ingredients until they form a stiff foam.
To assemble your drink add ice to a large cup or jar. Then pour the brown sugar cinnamon syrup over top. Pour the cold brew coffee over that and then top with the brown sugar cold foam. Add a glass straw or stainless straw and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You simple mix one cup ground coffee to four cups water in a large jar or follow the directions for your cold brew pitcher. I like to use coarse ground coffee so it doesn't leave a sludge at the bottom of my cold brew pitcher.
Leave in the refrigerator at least 24 hours and then strain. Enjoy your cold brew concentrate for up to two weeks when stored in the refrigerator. Let's be honest though, mine is gone way before two weeks.
Cold brew is never hot. You use cold water over your coffee grounds and store in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using. It gives the coffee a very smooth flavor. Iced coffee is brewed hot and then cooled before being poured over ice.
Honestly, I do think the cold brew has a better flavor and I prefer it over iced coffee. I think it's worth the time of letting the cold brew steep in the fridge to have a really delicious cup of coffee.
Storage
If you are using a cold brew pitcher after at least 24 hours follow the directions to remove the coffee grounds so you have your coffee in the pitcher ready to use. If you are using a jar strain with a fine mesh strainer into an air tight bottle and then store in the refrigerator.
