Cold Foam Cold Brew Iced Coffee Recipe

Ingredients (for a 16 oz serving)

  • 4 oz medium roast coffee beans, coarsely ground
  • 16 oz cold filtered water (for brewing)
  • Ice cubes
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt (optional, but trust me on this one!)

Equipment

  • Mason jar or large container for brewing
  • Fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth
  • Milk frother or hand mixer
  • Tall 16 oz glass

Instructions

For the Cold Brew:

  1. In a large mason jar, combine the coarsely ground medium roast coffee beans with cold filtered water.
  2. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 12-18 hours. (Pro tip: I like to prepare this before bed for a perfect brew in the morning!)
  4. After brewing, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean container.

For the Sweet Cream Cold Foam:

  1. In a tall container, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt (if using).
  2. Use a milk frother or hand mixer to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and frothy, about 30-45 seconds.

Assembly:

  1. Fill your 16 oz glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour 8 oz of the cold brew over the ice.
  3. Gently spoon the sweet cream cold foam on top of the cold brew.
  4. Marvel at your creation before giving it a stir and enjoying!

Tips and Variations

  • For a stronger brew, use a 1:4 ratio of coffee to water instead of 1:4.
  • Experiment with different roasts to find your perfect flavor profile.
  • Try adding a dash of vanilla extract to your cold foam for an extra layer of indulgence.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or your favorite plant-based alternative.

Remember, the key to a great cold brew is patience. Let those coffee grounds steep to perfection, and you’ll be rewarded with a smooth, less acidic brew that’s perfect for showcasing that luscious cold foam topping.

Enjoy your homemade Cold Foam Cold Brew Coffee – it’s a game-changer that might just rival your favorite coffee shop’s version!
