Let’s dive into how you can whip up this delicious seasonal brew right at home.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Cold Sip Club cold brew concentrate (homemade or store-bought)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- A pinch of ground nutmeg
- A pinch of ground cloves (optional, for an extra spice kick)
- Milk or cream (optional)
- Ice cubes
How to Make Spiced Maple Cold Brew:
Step 1: Brew Your Cold Brew Concentrate
If you don’t already have cold brew concentrate on hand, don’t worry—it’s easy to make. Here’s a quick refresher on how to brew your own cold brew at home:
- Grind your coffee beans: Use a coarse grind, similar to sea salt. For this recipe, use 1/4 cup of Cold Sip Club coffee grounds per 1 cup of water.
- Mix the grounds with water: Combine coffee grounds and cold, filtered water in a large jar or pitcher. Stir to ensure all the grounds are saturated.
- Let it steep: Cover the jar and let it sit in the fridge for 12-24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
- Strain the coffee: After steeping, strain the coffee concentrate using a coffee filter or a fine mesh sieve.
Now you have your cold brew concentrate, ready for our Spiced Maple Cold Brew recipe!
Step 2: Create the Spiced Maple Mixture
- In a small bowl or mug, combine the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (if using). Stir well until the spices are evenly mixed with the maple syrup.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the spices if needed. If you love more warmth, you can add an extra pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
Step 3: Mix and Serve
- Fill a glass with ice cubes.
- Pour 1 cup of Cold Sip Club cold brew concentrate over the ice.
- Stir in the spiced maple mixture until it’s well blended with the coffee.
- If you prefer a creamier cold brew, add a splash of milk or cream to taste.
- Optional garnish: Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top or garnish with a cinnamon stick for that extra fall flair.
Pro Tips for a Perfect Spiced Maple Cold Brew:
- Use Real Maple Syrup: For the best flavor, stick with pure maple syrup rather than imitation or artificially flavored syrups.
- Customize the Spice Level: If you’re a fan of bold spices, feel free to increase the nutmeg or cloves. For a milder taste, stick to cinnamon and a lighter hand with the spices.
- Try Non-Dairy Milk: Almond milk, oat milk, or even a dash of coconut milk adds a subtle twist and pairs perfectly with the maple flavor.
- Coffee Ice Cubes: For an extra cold brew boost without watering down your drink, freeze leftover cold brew in an ice tray and use those coffee ice cubes.
