What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
- Ice cubes
- For the Vanilla Rose Sweet Cream:
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 tablespoon rose syrup (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup (or to taste)
Pro Tips:
- Use high-quality cold brew for the best flavor. If you’re making it at home, steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water overnight.
- If you don’t have rose syrup, make it at home (recipe below!) or use honey with a drop of rose water.
- Adjust the sweetness of the cream to your taste—you can skip the simple syrup if you prefer it less sweet.
Tools You’ll Need:
- Tall glass or cup
- Handheld frother or small whisk
- Small pitcher or bowl
Substitutions & Variations:
- No rose syrup? Swap it with honey or skip it entirely for a simple vanilla cream.
- Dairy-free? Use coconut cream or a thick oat milk creamer for the sweet cream.
- Want it extra decadent? Add a drizzle of caramel or a pinch of cinnamon to the topping!
Make Ahead Tips:
You can prep the sweet cream in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just give it a quick whisk or froth before using.
