Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 tbsp Irish cream syrup
- Ice (optional)
Irish Cream Sweet Cream
- 2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Irish cream syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Mix the coffee base: Add the cold brew coffee and 1 tablespoon of Irish cream syrup to a glass. Stir well using a spoon until fully combined.
- Prepare the Irish cream sweet cream: In a separate cup or small bowl, combine the milk, heavy cream, powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon Irish cream syrup, and vanilla extract. Use a hand frother to whip the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy, which should take about 20-30 seconds.
- Assemble and serve: Pour the cold brew mixture over ice if desired. Gently top it with the prepared Irish cream sweet cream. Finish by dusting the surface with cocoa powder for a delightful garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Starbucks Irish Cream Cold Brew.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of Irish cream syrup and powdered sugar according to your taste preferences.
- If you don’t have a hand frother, you can vigorously whisk the sweet cream mixture or use a blender to achieve a similar creamy texture.
- Use vanilla bean paste for a richer vanilla flavor instead of vanilla extract if available.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives like oat or almond milk and coconut cream.
- Serve immediately as the froth is best fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
