Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coarse ground coffee beans (medium or dark roast recommended)
- 4 cups cold filtered water
- 1/4 cup cherry syrup (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 cup milk or creamer (dairy or non-dairy)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine the coarse ground coffee and cold filtered water in a large jar or container. Stir briefly to ensure all grounds are saturated.
- Cover the container and let the mixture steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12 to 18 hours to make the cold brew concentrate.
- Strain the coffee concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a paper filter into a clean container. Discard the used coffee grounds.
- To assemble one serving, fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Add 1/4 cup of the strained cold brew concentrate to the glass.
- Stir in the cherry syrup and vanilla extract or paste until combined.
- Top the drink with milk or creamer. Adjust syrup and milk to your preferred taste and strength.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use vanilla bean paste instead of extract.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use less water or steep for a longer period.
- You can make a simple cherry syrup by simmering 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup frozen or fresh cherries until the sugar dissolves and the liquid thickens slightly. Strain before using.
