Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (100g) coarsely ground coffee
  • 4 cups (950ml) filtered water
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
  • 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk

Instructions:

  1. Combine the coarsely ground coffee and filtered water in a mason jar or French press. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are fully saturated.
  2. Seal the container and let it sit on the counter or in the fridge for 12 to 18 hours.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean jar to create the cold brew concentrate.
  4. Pour 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp maple syrup into a small glass.
  5. Insert a handheld frother at a slight angle and whirl for 20–30 seconds until the liquid doubles in volume and reaches a thick, marshmallow-like consistency.
  6. Fill a tall glass to the brim with ice cubes.
  7. Pour in 1/2 cup (120ml) of the cold brew concentrate.
  8. Optionally, add 1/4 cup (60ml) of unsweetened milk for added creaminess.
  9. Gently pour the prepared vanilla cold foam over the top.
