Ingredients

Cold Brew

1 cup coarsely ground organic coffee beans

4 cups filtered water

Vanilla Cold Foam

Pinch of sea salt

Assembly

Ice cubes

Directions

Cold Brew

- Select a step number to highlight that step.

stir: In a large jar or French press, combine coarsely ground coffee and filtered water. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.

refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor will be.

Tips

For the smoothest cold brew, use a 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio and coarse grounds to prevent over-extraction and bitterness.

strain: Strain the cold brew through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or use a French press to separate grounds. Store in refrigerator for up to one week.

Vanilla Cold Foam

- Select a step number to highlight that step.

combine: In a mason jar, combine the Organic Valley® Oat Creamer and sea salt.

shake: Put the lid on the jar and shake vigorously for 30 seconds until foamy.

Assembly

- Select a step number to highlight that step.

fill: Fill two 16 oz glasses with ice cubes, leaving room at the top for foam.

pour: Pour 1 cup of cold brew concentrate over ice in each glass.

serve: Gently spoon or pour the vanilla cold foam over the top of each drink, creating a creamy layer that floats on the surface. Enjoy!

Tips

Make cold brew concentrate ahead of time for quick morning drinks all week long.
Experiment with different Organic Valley^® creamers like Caramel Oat Creamer or French Vanilla Creamer.
Double the foam recipe if you prefer extra-thick foam or are making drinks for a crowd.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make cold brew faster than 12 hours?

While 12 hours is minimum, 6-8 hours will work in a pinch. For stronger flavor in less time, use a finer grind or more coffee.

What's the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?

Cold brew is steeped in cold water for hours, creating a smoother, less acidic flavor. Iced coffee is hot coffee that's cooled down and can taste bitter.
