A smooth and creamy iced cold brew coffee topped with homemade vanilla sweet cream, perfect for warm weather and easy to customize.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk, cold (whole milk or dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Brew Coffee: Combine 1 cup (85 g) coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups (960 ml) cold water in a cold brew coffee maker or large jar. Stir gently to wet all grounds. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 18 hours.
  2. Strain the Coffee: After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a clean container. Store leftover cold brew in the fridge up to one week.
  3. Make the Vanilla Sweet Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon simple syrup or honey. Whisk by hand or with an electric mixer until slightly thickened and soft peaks form (2-3 minutes). Do not overwhip.
  4. Assemble the Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew coffee, leaving space on top.
  5. Top with Vanilla Sweet Cream: Gently float 2 to 3 tablespoons of the whipped sweet cream over the cold brew to create a creamy layer.
  6. Serve and Stir: Serve immediately with a straw or spoon. Stir gently before sipping to blend the creamy vanilla flavor with the coffee.

Notes

Use coarsely ground coffee for best flavor and to avoid grit. Chill all ingredients and equipment for better whipping results. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid turning it into butter. Simple syrup blends better than granulated sugar. Cold brew can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week. Whip the sweet cream fresh before serving for best texture.
