Course Drinks
Prep Time 10 minutes
Steep time 12 hours
Servings 6 cups

Equipment

  • Coffee Grinder
  • 2 Litre Jar with lid
  • Fine Sieve
  • Cheesecloth

Ingredients

Cold Brew

  • 1 litre / 4 cups water or tap water, at room temperature
  • 2 1/4 cups dark roast whole bean coffee makes 2⅓ cups ground to medium coarseness

Sweet Cream Vanilla Caramel Cold Brew

  • 1/2 cup cold brew
  • 2-3 tbsp half & half, or milk, or non-dairy alternative
  • 2 tbsp simple syrup
  • 15 drops Hedessent Caramel
  • 10 drops Hedessent Classic Vanilla OR Vanilla Ice Cream

Instructions

Cold Brew

  • Coarsely grind the coffee beans in a coffee grinder until medium coarseness; aim for the size suited for a French press.
  • Transfer to a 2 L jar and slowly pour filtered water over top; stir well to hydrate the coffee grounds. The coffee grounds will float to the top, make sure all the coffee grounds are wet.
  • Cover and leave at room temperature for at least 12 hrs.
  • Place a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a large measuring cup or bowl; slowly pour concentrated coffee and grounds through the strainer without pressing (this will release bitter oils).
  • Transfer to a clean jar and refrigerate for up to 7 to 10 days.

Sweet Cream Vanilla Caramel Cold Brew

  • Fill a glass with ice; top with cold brew. Stir in Hedessent Caramel Flavour and Hedessent Classic Vanilla Flavour.
  • In a measuring glass, stir half & half with simple syrup and salt (if using). Pour over cold brew and enjoy.

Notes

Pro Tip #1:
Don’t have a coffee grinder? If you’re purchasing the coffee beans at a coffee shop, ask the barista to grind or use your supermarket coffee grinder when buying at your grocer. 
Pro Tip #2:
For a creamier topper, whisk 3 tbsp of 35% whipping cream until soft peaks form, whisk in simple syrup, 8-10 drops of your Hedessent Caramel or Vanilla Ice Cream flavour, and salt, and spoon over cold brew.
Pro Tip #3
We chose this flavour combo to mimic the most popular cold brew option – vanilla caramel. But the beauty of Hedessent flavours is that you can flavour any of our recipes YOUR way and to your own desired sweetness preferences. #FindYourFlavour - Shop Now
