Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew

INSTRUCTIONS

Notes

• Cold brew can be made using any kind of coffee you like from light to dark roast, but I like to use Starbucks brand Vanilla Cold Brew so that the flavor is as close to the original as possible.
• The vanilla syrup, cold brew, and sweet cream can be made ahead of time but keep them separate until the drink is ready to be assembled.
• Don’t feel bad for adding extra! At Starbucks, it’s common to order this drink with extra sweet cream, extra vanilla syrup, or both.
• This recipe can easily be switched to decaf! Just use decaf cold brew in place of caffeinated
