I have been on quite the journey with coffee. It started in college with an occasional gas station coffee to stay awake and study. Followed by a very occasional cappuccino at a coffee shop. Then I was introduced to flavored ground coffee, thank you sister-in-law. Then I discovered I like latte's better than cappuccinos, followed by learning to make my own latte's at home and eventually iced coffee at home and then making my own cold brew. Now I am a full coffee addict and start everyday with a mug of coffee.
I have learned when making cold brew coffee, or even if you buy it at the store, it is like a coffee concentrate that needs to be diluted with water. How much water you dilute it with will depend on how strong the cold brew coffee is and how strong you like your coffee. It took me lots of playing around to find the right ratio for me and I still sometimes adjust the ratio when making my recipes.
Raspberry Cold Brew with Raspberry Cold Foam
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup cold brew coffee
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup milk
Directions:
- In a small saucepan, over low heat, add in the raspberries and sugar, stirring to combine. Stir the mixture often until the raspberries are broken down and a syrup like consistency.
- Using a sieve over a small bowl, pour the raspberry into the sieve and press down on them with the back of a spoon until only the seeds remain in the sieve. Discard the seeds.
- In a large glass add some coffee ice cubes or regular ice cubes and pour in the cold brew, water and 1 tablespoon for raspberry sauce.
- In a glass measuring cup pour in the milk and stir in 1 teaspoon of raspberry sauce. Use a milk frothed to foam the milk. Pour the milk over the coffee and drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry sauce on top.
Enjoy!!!
Notes:
If you want your raspberry sauce a bit sweeter, you can add more sugar.
I used all of the raspberry sauce in this one coffee.
