Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cold brew coffee concentrate
1 cup water (for dilution)
Ice cubes
For the Strawberry Sweet Cream:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons strawberry syrup (or pureed strawberries with sweetener)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the cold brew: Mix the cold brew concentrate with water. If you do not have concentrate, steep coarse coffee grounds in cold water for 12-18 hours, then strain.
Make the strawberry sweet cream: Combine the heavy whipping cream, whole milk, strawberry syrup, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
Whip the cream mixture using a whisk or electric mixer until soft peaks form. Do not over-whip to a stiff peak; you want a pourable, creamy texture.
Assemble the drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour the diluted cold brew over the ice, filling the glass about two-thirds full.
Slowly spoon or pour the strawberry sweet cream mixture over the top of the cold brew so it gently layers on the surface.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For a thicker cream, use less milk or whip the cream longer.
If using fresh or frozen strawberries instead of syrup, blend them until smooth before adding them to the cream mixture.
Adjust the water ratio to the concentrate based on your preferred coffee strength.
