Ingredients

Scale

Cold Brew Coffee Base

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
  • 4 cups filtered water

Spice Blend and Flavoring

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves (natural)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Sweeteners and Cream

  • 3 tablespoons hazelnut syrup (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (maple syrup, agave nectar, or plant-based sugar alternative)
  • Plant-based milk or creamer, to taste (approximately 1/2 to 1 cup)
  • Ice cubes, for serving

Additional

  • Cold water, as needed for diluting the cold brew

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cold Brew Coffee. Combine 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans with 4 cups filtered water in a large jar or pitcher. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated. Cover and refrigerate for 12 to 16 hours to extract a smooth, rich flavor without bitterness.
  2. Strain the Coffee. After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter to remove all grounds, creating a clean cold brew concentrate ready for spicing.
  3. Mix the Spice Blend. In a small bowl, blend 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural). Stir this fragrant mixture into the cold brew concentrate until spices are evenly incorporated.
  4. Sweeten and Flavor. Add 3 tablespoons hazelnut syrup (natural) and 2 tablespoons sweetener of choice. Stir thoroughly to balance the nutty sweetness with the warm spices.
  5. Serve Over Ice with Plant-Based Milk. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the spiced hazelnut cold brew over them. Add plant-based milk or creamer to your liking, stir gently, and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
