Ingredients
Instructions
- First, if your brewed coffee isn't cooled down to room temperature, make sure you do that. Then add it to a glass or mug.
- Next, add cashew milk/cream to a blender along with date syrup (or sweetner of choice) and vanilla. Blend the vanilla sweet cream mixture for 20-30 seconds. Don't skip this length of blending, it makes a creamy texture.
- Add ice to your cold brew in the glass and pour the vanilla sweet cream mixture over it. Finally, stir with a metal or glass straw and enjoy!
Notes
*Cooled Down Coffee = brewed coffee that has cooled down to room temperature (french press, drip, pour-over, instant, etc.)
*Cashew Milk or Cream = store-bought unsweetened cashew milk or my favorite: homemade cashew cream made by soaking 1 cup of raw cashews in water overnight and then blending them in a blender with 1.5 cups of water for 1 minute.
*Date Syrup from Trader Joe's is both affordable and organic, I highly recommend and it doesn't raise blood sugar levels! You can also use raw honey or pure maple syrup. If you like your drinks sweeter, add an additional 1/2 to 1 Tablespoon.
*Add as much ice as you'd like, I don't like a ton so I do 1/4 cup so it doesn't water it down
