About Vanilla cold brew

Vanilla cold brew is a refreshing coffee beverage made by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water for an extended period, typically 12-24 hours, and infusing it with vanilla extract or syrup for added flavor. Originating from the traditional cold brew technique that has been embraced globally, this drink is particularly popular in Western cuisine as a smooth and less acidic alternative to hot coffee. Nutritionally, an unsweetened vanilla cold brew contains minimal calories, carbohydrates, and fat, making it a low-calorie option. It provides a modest amount of caffeine (approximately 100-200 mg per 8 oz, depending on brewing strength) which can contribute to improved focus and alertness. Sweetened variations, however, may substantially increase sugar and calorie content depending on the type and amount of vanilla flavoring used.

Health Benefits

• Boosts alertness and energy levels due to its caffeine content, which can promote mental focus and reduce fatigue.
• Cold brew contains antioxidants like chlorogenic acid, which may help combat oxidative stress and support heart health.
• May support digestion, as cold brew coffee is lower in acidity than traditional brewed coffee, making it gentler on the stomach for some individuals.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains None (unless vanilla syrup contains common allergens like milk or nuts)

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, low-calorie diets (if unsweetened), paleo (if unsweetened and natural vanilla extract is used)

Not suitable for: Caffeine-free diets, low-acid diets (if highly sensitive to coffee acidity), individuals sensitive to caffeine

Selection and Storage

Store the prepared cold brew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days to maintain freshness. For best results, add vanilla flavoring just before serving instead of mixing it into the full batch.
