INGREDIENTS
 

Vanilla Cold Brew

Sweet Cream

  • ¼ cup half & half
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Stir together half & half and vanilla syrup to make Sweet Cream.
    Set aside.
  • Pour vanilla syrup, cold brew, then ice into a cup.
  • Add sweet cream.

NOTES

  • The vanilla syrup and the cold brew can be made ahead of time but keep them separate until the drink is ready to be assembled.
  • Add as much sweet cream you like to make it creamy and sweet.
  • I use half & half as a shortcut to making sweet cream, but to make sweet cream just like Starbucks, stir together 6 ounces of heavy cream, 3 ounces of 2% milk, and 1 ounce of vanilla syrup. 
  • Homemade vanilla syrup is super easy to make at home with just 3 ingredients.
  • Starbucks vanilla syrup can be purchased at a Starbucks location if they have extra in stock, for about $14.
