Notes

This recipe makes 4 servings (1 cup cold brew coffee each, plus 1/4 cup of the vanilla cream mixture each).

The simple syrup recipe makes 8 tablespoons of simple syrup (or 1/2 cup), so feel free to add a little extra simple syrup to each serving depending on your tastes. The simple syrup lasts for several weeks in the fridge in an airtight container or mason jar.

To make this recipe low carb/keto, simply replace the simple syrup with a few drops of liquid stevia and add some vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract to the cream mixture for added flavour.
