Can you turn regular coffee into cold brew?

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.

What is the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?

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.

Why do you add molasses to the cold foam?

Molasses is the secret ingredient that sets this cold foam apart from every other brown sugar cold brew copycat recipe. A small amount deepens the brown sugar flavor into something richer and more caramel like that plain brown sugar alone cannot replicate. It is a small addition that makes a big difference in the finished drink. Do not skip it.

Can I make the brown sugar cinnamon syrup ahead of time?

Yes and I highly recommend it. Double or triple the syrup recipe and store it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Having the syrup ready means you can assemble this drink in just a few minutes without any additional prep. The cold foam should always be made fresh immediately before serving since it does not hold well and is best enjoyed right after frothing.

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. Microwave in 20 second intervals stirring to combine in between until the ingredients are mixed together 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.
