Notes

One: Storage

Store in the fridge in a covered container for 3-4 days for the best flavor or up to a week.

Two: Vanilla

Use one cup of ice cubes, 3/4 cup of cold brew (add water for water flavor), 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup, and 1/4 cup of half-n-half.

Three: Salted Caramel

Drizzle caramel ice cream topping inside the cup. Add one cup of ice cubes, 3/4 cup of cold brew, 1-2 tablespoons of caramel coffee syrup, 2 tablespoons of half-n-half, and top with salted caramel cold foam.

Four: Cold Brew Latte

Put 1 cup of ice cubes into a cup, add 3/4 cup of cold brew (add water for weaker flavor), and top with 1/4 cup of whole milk. You can also skip the ice cubes and warm the cold brew in the microwave before adding milk for a warm latte.
