Ingredients

Cold Brew Base

  • Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate – 1 cup

Spices

  • Ground Cinnamon – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Ground Cloves – 1/8 teaspoon
  • Fresh Nutmeg – pinch

Sweeteners and Flavor

  • Hazelnut Syrup – 2 tablespoons
  • Pure Maple Syrup – 1 tablespoon

Milk Options

  • Milk or Plant-based Milk (such as oat, almond, or cashew) – 1/2 cup

To Serve

  • Ice Cubes – as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Cold Brew Base: Start with 1 cup of cold brew coffee concentrate, either store-bought or homemade by steeping coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12 to 24 hours and straining it. This smooth base is ideal for infusing spices and hazelnut flavor.
  2. Mix in the Spices: Combine 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Sprinkle these spices into the cold brew concentrate and stir well to evenly infuse the warm aromatic notes.
  3. Add Hazelnut Syrup and Sweetener: Pour in 2 tablespoons of hazelnut syrup and 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup. Stir thoroughly until both syrups are fully dissolved, contributing creamy, nutty sweetness that defines the drink.
  4. Incorporate Milk or Plant-based Milk: Slowly add 1/2 cup of your choice of milk or plant-based milk, stirring gently to blend. This adds a smooth texture that balances the bold coffee and spices.
  5. Serve Over Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the prepared Spiced Hazelnut Cold Brew Coffee over them. Stir gently to combine and garnish as desired. Enjoy the perfect balance of flavors in every sip.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for maximum flavor impact.
  • Adjust sweetness by starting with less syrup and adding more according to your taste.
  • Make the cold brew concentrate slightly stronger than usual to retain boldness when milk is added.
  • Keep all ingredients chilled before mixing to prevent ice melting and dilution.
  • Use a shaker or bottle to combine ingredients for a frothy, well-mixed drink.
