Why Choose Cold Brew Coffee?

Cold brew coffee offers a smooth and less acidic taste compared to hot brewed coffee (traditional drip coffee brewed with hot water), making it an ideal base for creating cold coffee drinks. The cold brewing method uses a longer steeping process in cold water, resulting in a concentrated coffee that can be served over ice or blended as a base for the best coffee recipes.

Ingredients you’ll need to make Emma Chamberlain cold brew iced coffee:

• Whole Coffee Beans: Use a medium or dark roast coffee for the best results. You can also use coffee beans from Chamberlain Coffee (Emma’s favorite is the Early Bird Blend).
• Cold Water: Approximately 4 cups. The amount of water will determine how strong your cold brew concentrate is.
• Almond Milk, Oat Milk, or Coconut Cream: For a creamy vegan option. You can also use regular cow’s milk if you prefer a non-vegan option.
• Ice Cubes: Essential for chilling your cold brew.
• Optional Add-ins: Vanilla syrup, pure maple syrup, or a dash of vanilla extract for added flavor.

Equipment you’ll need to make Emma Chamberlain cold brew iced coffee:

• French Press or Cold Brew Mason Jar: To make your cold brew coffee.
• Burr Grinder: For grinding your coffee beans to the right consistency.
• Milk Frother or Hand Mixer: Optional for frothing plant-based milk.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Grind the Coffee Beans:

• Use a burr grinder to grind your coffee beans to a coarse consistency, similar to sea salt. This grind size is ideal for cold brew brewing.

2. Brew the Cold Brew Coffee:

• In your French press or cold brew mason jar, combine the 1 cup of ground coffee beans with 4 cups of cold or room temperature water.
• Stir gently to ensure all coffee grounds are saturated.
• Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours to steep. The longer time you steep, the stronger the coffee concentrate will be. The final product is a cold brew concentrate you can use to make hot coffee, iced coffee, and other specialty vegan coffee drinks.

3. Strain and Serve:

• After steeping, press down the plunger on your French press or strain the coffee brew through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
• Dilute the coffee concentrate with water or serve it straight over ice cubes in a glass.

4. Prepare Your Cold Brew Iced Coffee:

• Fill a glass with ice cubes.
• Pour the cold brew coffee concentrate over the cup of ice, leaving room for your choice of milk.

5. Customize Your Drink:

• Add almond milk, oat milk, or coconut cream to taste, stirring gently to combine. If you are using frothy milk, the best way is to pour mixture over the top and stir gently with a straw to mix with the coffee.
• Sweeten with vanilla syrup, pure maple syrup, or a dash of vanilla extract if desired.

6. Enjoy Your Cold Brew Iced Coffee:

• Sip and savor your homemade creation, enjoying the smooth and refreshing flavors of Emma Chamberlain’s signature drink.

Additional tips and variations:

• Flavor Enhancements: Experiment with different flavors such as chocolate syrup or cocoa powder for a unique twist.
• Different Coffee Beans: Try making your cold brew with different coffee blends for different flavors, such as the Cake Batter Blend, Hazelnut Blend, or Caramel Blend
• Make Iced Almond Latte: To make a delicious iced almond latte with frothy almond milk, start by pouring cold brew coffee over ice. Then, froth almond milk using a milk frother until it’s airy and creamy. Gently pour the frothy almond milk over the cold brew coffee, and sweeten to taste with simple syrup or your preferred sweetener for a refreshing and satisfying drink.
• Add a pinch of sea salt: Adding a pinch of sea salt to coffee can enhance its flavor by balancing bitterness and highlighting subtle sweetness. It’s a simple trick that can elevate your coffee’s taste profile, providing a smoother and more rounded flavor without making the coffee taste salty. Just a small pinch is enough to bring out the natural flavors of the coffee beans, making it a popular hack among coffee enthusiasts.

What is the Emma Chamberlain Cold Brew Cookie Smoothie?

The Cold Brew Cookie Smoothie is a collaboration between Erewhon and Emma Chamberlain, which has caused a stir on social media. But if you’re not in California, you might feel left out of the trend. After dissecting the ingredients, I decided to create my own version so everyone can enjoy it at home without the hefty price tag (no $20 drinks here, thank you!). The original Cold Brew Cookie Smoothie is a real treat, layered with raspberry coffee ganache, a creamy smoothie base, coconut cream, and topped off with coconut whip, brownie crumble, and cacao nibs.

The original recipe includes a lengthy list of ingredients like organic almond milk, Chamberlain Coffee’s Fancy Mouse Espresso Blend, vanilla protein powder, coconut cream, cookie crumbs, Sakara Beauty Drops, raspberries, cacao, dates, sea salt, banana, toffee stevia, coconut meat, vanilla, lucuma, tocos, maca, cacao nibs, almond butter, and maple syrup. While these are all fantastic ingredients, I’ve simplified the recipe, made with the Emma Chamberlain cold brew recipe I shared above.

Easy way to use the cold brew to make Emma Chamberlain Cold Brew Cookie Smoothie

First, you make the smoothie layer by placing 1 frozen banana, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 tablespoon natural unsweetened almond butter, and 3/4 cup of coconut milk in a blender, and process until smooth.

Next, you make the raspberry coffee mousse layer with 1/4 cup frozen raspberries, 1/4 cup cold brew, 1/4 cup vanilla flavored coconut milk (I like the ones from So Delicious and Vita Coco), 1 tablespoon of cacao powder, and sweetener of choice.

Once you have both layeres made, you can alternate and pour them into a chilled glass, then top with coconut whipped topping, sprinkle with cacao nibs and crumbled brownie sweet thins or your chosen cookies. Enjoy your homemade Cold Brew Cookie Smoothie, packed with flavor and goodness, right from your own kitchen!
