Ingredients
Scale
Cold Brew Coffee
- 1 cup cold brew coffee concentrate
Milk Mixture
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons 100% maple syrup
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee: Add 1 cup of cold brew coffee concentrate to a large glass filled with ice to chill and dilute slightly.
- Create the Milk Foam: In a glass measuring cup, combine 1/4 cup whole milk, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a milk frother in an up-and-down motion until the mixture doubles in volume and forms a light foam.
- Combine Coffee and Foam: Carefully pour the milk foam over the iced cold brew coffee, using a spoon to gently push out the foam so it floats atop the coffee.
- Alternative Frothing Method: If a milk frother is unavailable, put the milk, maple syrup, and salt into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well combined and foam appears, then pour over the coffee.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity to taste for more or less sweetness.
- The pinch of sea salt enhances the flavors by balancing sweetness and bitterness.
- Use high-quality cold brew concentrate for best results.
- The shaking method is an easy alternative for creating foam without special tools.
