One of the most delicious new drinks that Starbucks serves is the deceptively simple sweet cream cold brew. This is simply cold-brewed coffee, served over ice, with sweetened cream mixed in. Sounds easy to master, right? Right! If you’re at a hotel and you don’t know where the nearest Starbucks is, you can make a pretty close version of the drink from right where you are. Here’s how.
- Brew whatever coffee is provided to you in the room. If it’s a coffee pot, brew stronger than you usually would. If it’s a machine with coffee pods, brew a couple of pods.
- You’ll have to leave the room for this step: getting ice. Head over to the ice machine on your floor and bring back about two cups or more of ice.
- Now comes the fun part: sugar. There are two ways to add the “sweet” to your sweet cream cold brew. You can either mix sugar directly into the coffee, or you can make a sugar syrup using a few sugar packets and just enough boiling water to dissolve them.
- Pour your strong coffee over ice and mix until it’s room temperature. Then add more ice to make it nice and cold.
- Finally, add your cream! Use at least two or more of the creamers provided with the coffee, and if you made sugar syrup, now is the time to mix it in. Start with just a little and put in more to your taste.
- Enjoy!
