Ok, now I understand why cold brew coffee is so expensive in cafes... it really uses more coffee beans than I thought 😭😭

Cold brew, if you're not familiar, is coffee brewed with cold water. We use a filter coffee grind, so you can buy your favorite ground coffee for a filter coffee maker! We let it infuse in cold water very gently, in the fridge for 12 to 18 hours depending on your taste. The advantage of this is that the flavors extracted with cold water are more subtle, without bitterness. It's perfect for drinking chilled in the summer, just black, or with oat milk for example!

Here, I've combined it with a homemade vanilla coffee creamer, inspired by a similar drink on the Starbucks menu 😍 To make a plant-based coffee creamer, I use oat milk and enrich it with neutral-tasting coconut oil. And I jazz it up with a bit of sugar and vanilla ❤️

Steps

The day before, mix the coffee with cold water in a jar. Let it rest in the fridge for about 15 hours.
Prepare the coffee cream: heat the oat milk. In a blender, mix the hot oat milk, coconut oil, sugar, and vanilla extract for one minute.
First, strain the cold brew through a fine mesh sieve. Then filter it again using a fabric or paper filter (you can use any drip coffee maker filter, or a Chemex cloth, cheesecloth, a clean kitchen towel... as long as it's fine enough to remove the last coffee particles).
In two glasses filled with ice, pour the cold brew. Top off with the vanilla cream!
