Notes
Cold brew concentrate will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week. For stronger cold brew, steep up to 18 hours.
Try making a double batch if you want enough to last the whole week.
Cold Brew Latte: Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (optional) into ¾ cup milk, saving 2 tablespoons for frothing. Pour over ice. Add 2 ounces undiluted cold brew concentrate, then top with the frothed milk.
