Do you prefer getting your coffee at a coffee shop? I know a lot of people do. However, I’ve found a few ways to make at-home coffee even more appealing.
5 Ways to Make the Perfect Cold Brew Coffee at Home
1. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk
Instead of traditional milk or cream, sweetened condensed milk changes up the flavor and gives your drink an international flair—like Vietnamese iced coffee.
2. Use Coconut Water or Milk
For a different flavor and health benefits, try coconut milk or coconut water when you make your cold brew. Coconut water almost adds a chocolatey flavor to your cold brew.
3. Make Flavored Ice Cubes
You can add a little almond, hazelnut or vanilla extract to ice cube trays along with some cream, milk or water to create flavored ice cubes. You can even make coffee ice cubes. This is another simple and fun way to add an interesting flavor to your cold brew.
4. Add Spices
I personally love adding cinnamon to my cold brew. Nutmeg is also great to add to cold brew.
5. Add Some Ice Cream
Turn your cold brew into a treat by adding a little scoop of ice cream. Almost any flavor could work, but I’d opt for classic vanilla bean or a caramel flavor.
I hope I’ve sold you on all the benefits of having cold brew coffee at home. There are so many interesting things you can do to make your coffee right at home. I will still hit up my local coffee shops every now and then. But the majority of the time, I’m so happy to get it right out of my refrigerator.
