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
