Ingredients
Scale
Vanilla Sweet Cream
- ¼ cup half & half
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
Cold Brew Coffee
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Cream: Stir together the half & half and 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup in a small bowl or cup until fully combined. Set this aside to use as your vanilla sweet cream topping.
- Assemble the Cold Brew: In a tall glass, pour 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup first, followed by 1 cup of cold brew coffee, then add 1 cup of ice cubes on top to chill the drink.
- Add the Sweet Cream: Slowly pour the prepared vanilla sweet cream over the iced cold brew. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, sweet flavors melding with the rich cold brew coffee.
Notes
- Use a good quality cold brew coffee for best results.
- You can adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to taste for sweetness.
- Half & half can be substituted with heavy cream or whole milk, but half & half offers the best balance of creaminess without being too heavy.
- For a vegan version, use a vanilla plant-based creamer instead of half & half.
- This drink is best served immediately to enjoy the contrasting layers of cream and coffee.
