Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
- 4 cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarsely ground coffee beans with the filtered water.
Stir the mixture gently to ensure all coffee grounds are fully submerged.
Cover the jar or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight for the best flavor extraction.
After the steeping time, use a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter to strain the coffee grounds from the liquid, transferring the cold brew concentrate to a clean jar or pitcher.
Add the vanilla extract to the cold brew concentrate, stirring well to combine.
Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour 1/2 cup of the cold brew concentrate over the ice.
Add 1/4 cup of your chosen dairy-free milk to the glass.
Sweeten with maple syrup or another preferred sweetener to taste, if desired.
Stir the drink to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Serve immediately or store the remaining cold brew concentrate in the refrigerator for up to a week.
