HOW TO MAKE Cold Witches Brew Coffee

To make your Cold Witches Brew Coffee, you just need a few simple ingredients and a little time. The process is straightforward and allows you to create a delicious, spooky drink that will impress your friends and family.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (120mL) cold brew coffee concentrate
• ½ cup (120mL) water
• ½ Tablespoon (8 mL) maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
• 2 Tablespoons (30mL) heavy whipping cream
• 2 Tablespoons (30mL) milk (any)
• ½ to 1 Tablespoon (8-15mL) maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• Orange gel food coloring (optional)
• Halloween sprinkles (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate: If you don’t have cold brew coffee concentrate, you can make your own by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold water for about 12-24 hours. After steeping, strain the coffee to separate the grounds.

Mixing the Base: In a small pitcher, combine the cold brew concentrate with ½ cup of water. This helps to dilute the coffee a bit while keeping the flavor rich.

Sweet and Flavorful: Add ½ tablespoon of maple syrup and ½ teaspoon of vanilla paste (or extract) to the coffee mixture. Stir well to combine.

Prepare the Cold Foam: In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy whipping cream, milk, and the remaining maple syrup (½ Tablespoon). Add the rest of the vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice. Use a hand frother or whisk to whip the cream mixture until it gets frothy but not too stiff.

Color it Up: If you’d like to give your cold foam a spooky twist, add a few drops of orange gel food coloring to the frothy mixture and gently fold to create a light orange color.

Combine & Serve: Pour the cold brew coffee into a glass filled with ice. Carefully layer the pumpkin spice cold foam on top of the coffee. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle Halloween sprinkles on top of the foam.

HOW TO SERVE Cold Witches Brew Coffee

Serving Cold Witches Brew Coffee is all about presentation. Use clear glass cups to show off the beautiful layers of coffee and foam. You can decorate the rim of the glass with frosting and dip it in festive sprinkles for added fun. A spooky straw can help make drinking this Halloween treat even more enjoyable. Serve it as a fun treat for kids and adults alike during your Halloween celebrations or cozy fall evenings at home.

HOW TO STORE Cold Witches Brew Coffee

If you have leftover Cold Witches Brew Coffee, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, it’s best when freshly made. The cold foam might lose its texture over time, so it’s a good idea to prepare it right before serving. If you want to save ingredients for later, keep the coffee concentrate, the cold foam mixture, and any extras stored separately in the fridge until you’re ready to prepare your drink.

TIPS TO MAKE Cold Witches Brew Coffee

• Coffee Strength: Adjust the strength of your cold brew by varying the coffee-to-water ratio when making your concentrate.
• Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup based on your sweetness preference. You can also experiment with other sweeteners.
• Froth Techniques: If you don’t have a frother, you can place the cream mixture in a jar, seal it, and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until frothy.
• Festive Touch: Use themed cups or place a little decoration on the table to enhance the party atmosphere!

VARIATIONS

• Spiced Latte: Add more spices like nutmeg or cinnamon for a deeper fall flavor.
• Non-Dairy Version: Substitute the heavy cream and milk with almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for a dairy-free drink.
• Chocolate Twist: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the coffee mixture for a mocha variation.

FAQs

1. Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of cold brew?
Yes, you can use regular brewed coffee, but cold brew provides a smoother, less acidic flavor that’s perfect for this recipe.

2. How can I make my cold foam thicker?
To make a thicker cold foam, whip the cream longer until it holds a more stable froth. Adding a touch of powdered sugar can also help stabilize it.

3. Is it okay to adjust the spices?
Definitely! You can customize the spices according to your taste. If you love nutmeg or cinnamon, feel free to add more or adjust to your liking.

Creating a delightful Cold Witches Brew Coffee is simple and rewarding. With a few ingredients and easy steps, you can whip up a seasonal favorite that brings joy and festivity to your gathering. Enjoy your spooky drink while embracing the warm flavors of fall!
