How to Store It & Expert Tips
How to Store It
If you happen to have leftovers (doubtful), you can pop it in the fridge for up to a day. But if you leave it too long, those flavors will go south real quick—best enjoyed fresh! You can’t really freeze it since ice and coffee don’t mix well, but you could make your cold brew in advance!
Expert Tips
- Sweetness: If you want a sweeter punch, a drizzle of maple syrup does wonders!
- Texture: For a thicker drink, try freezing your creamer in ice cube trays beforehand.
- Flavor Boost: Add a splash of vanilla extract in the base for an extra layer of deliciousness.

Can I use regular milk instead of dairy-free? Here’s the deal: absolutely! Use any milk you like. Just know it might change the vibe a little bit, but hey, dessert coffee is dessert coffee!
Can I make this ahead of time? You could prep the base a few hours in advance, but once that ice meets the mix, you gotta drink it fresh!
