Introduction
If you love the rich, nutty flavor of coconut paired with bold cold brew coffee, this Toasted Coconut Cream Cold Brew is perfect for you. This homemade Starbucks copycat is creamy, refreshing, and easy to make in just minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 ½ tbsp coconut syrup
- 1 tbsp whole milk
- 1 ½ cups cold brew coffee
- 1 tbsp coconut syrup (or vanilla syrup)
- Ice
- Toasted coconut chips (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Make the cold foam by adding heavy cream, coconut syrup, and whole milk to a small glass or mason jar. Use a milk frother to froth the mixture for 20-30 seconds until it becomes light and foamy. Set aside.
- Step 2: Fill a tall glass with ice. Stir the cold brew coffee and 1 tablespoon of coconut syrup together, then pour over the ice.
- Step 3: Gently spoon the coconut cold foam over the coffee. Garnish with toasted coconut chips if desired, and enjoy your refreshing drink!
Tips & Variations
- Use vanilla syrup instead of coconut syrup for a subtle twist on the flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream and milk with coconut cream or almond milk and adjust frothing time accordingly.
- Toast your own coconut chips in a dry skillet for a fresher garnish experience.
Storage
This drink is best enjoyed fresh. Cold brew coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week, but the cold foam should be prepared just before serving to maintain its texture. If you have leftover cold brew, store it in a sealed container in the fridge and give it a quick stir before using again.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make the cold foam without a milk frother?
Yes, you can vigorously shake the cream, coconut syrup, and milk mixture in a tightly sealed jar for about 30 seconds until foamy, though a frother will produce the best texture.
What if I don’t have coconut syrup?
You can substitute with vanilla syrup or simple syrup with a few drops of coconut extract to achieve a similar flavor.
