Notes
Here are some of my 3 favorite ways to use this Cold Brew Concentrate.
- Skinny Iced Coffee- Pour 1/2 cup cold brew concentrate, 1/4 fat-free half and half, and 1 tablespoon sugar-free- flavored syrup over ice and stir. Delicious!
- Baileys & Coffee On the Rocks-Mix 1/2 cup Baileys and 1/4 cold brew concentrate and add ice. You get a liquor and caffeine buzz, the best of both worlds.
- Wake Me Up Smoothie-Pour 1/4 cup cold brew concentrate, 1 cup ice, and box of chocolate premier protein drink into a blender and mix n high speed for 1 minute. A great mix of caffeine and protein to fuel your day!
