Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (90g) coarsely ground coffee beans (high quality, medium-dark roast recommended)
  • 4 cups (950ml) filtered water
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (36% milk fat or higher)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon (0.6ml) sea salt (flaky or fine, to taste)
  • Ice cubes
  • Sea salt flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine coarsely ground coffee and filtered water in a large jar. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated. Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours (longer for stronger coffee).
  2. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth (or use your cold brew maker filter). Slowly pour the coffee mixture through the strainer, discarding the grounds. This is your cold brew concentrate.
  3. In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  4. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip. Taste and adjust salt to preference.
  5. Fill two glasses with ice cubes.
  6. Pour cold brew concentrate into each glass, filling about halfway. You may dilute with more water or milk if desired.
  7. Generously spoon the sea salt cream over the cold brew in each glass.
  8. Sprinkle with a few sea salt flakes (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
