Make a cafe-style strawberry cream cold brew at home using a simple strawberry syrup and thick cold foam topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong cold brew coffee concentrate
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for foam)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Make the strawberry syrup: Combine strawberries, water, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and strawberries soften, about 8 minutes. Mash the strawberries slightly.
  2. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar, pressing down on the solids to extract liquid. Discard solids. Stir in vanilla extract. Let cool completely.
  3. Prepare the cold brew: If using concentrate, mix 1 part concentrate with 1 part cold water. If you do not have concentrate, use 1 cup of strongly brewed chilled coffee.
  4. Make the cold foam: Combine heavy whipping cream, milk, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Use an electric mixer or a handheld frother to whip until soft peaks form. Do not over-whip.
  5. Assemble the drink: Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup into the bottom of a tall glass. Fill the glass with ice.
  6. Pour the prepared cold brew over the ice.
  7. Gently spoon the strawberry cold foam topping over the coffee. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a thicker syrup, simmer the strawberry mixture for a few extra minutes to reduce the liquid content.
  • If you prefer a less sweet drink, reduce the granulated sugar in the syrup to 3 tablespoons.
  • Use whole milk or half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a slightly lighter foam, though it will be less thick.
