Notes
If you want an extra sweet drink, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup into the glass before pouring cold brew.
About the cold brew:
If using store-bought cold brew concentrate, don’t forget to follow instructions and dilute in water for a less strong coffee. If following my cold brew concentrate recipe, I use 2 parts of cold brew for 1 part of water, and sometimes omit the water completely, as this recipe uses ice and I like my coffee strong.
About the vanilla syrup:
After cooled, place it in a bottle or jar with a lid, and store in the fridge.
If you want, substitute sugar for your favorite sweetener. Check if you need to use the same amount as you would of sugar (most of sweeteners have the information in the package).
About the vanilla sweet cream:
You can froth the cream until it gets the desired consistency. Use a milk frothier, a whisker or a mixer, and whisk the vanilla cream until frothy. Add to your cold brew right away: the cream won’t hold this consistency for longer than 30 minutes.
