Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong chicory cold brew concentrate
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
- 1 tablespoon caramel syrup
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Cold foam topping
- Optional: Granulated sugar for torching
Instructions
- Brew your chicory coffee concentrate according to your preferred method. Let it cool completely.
- In a glass, combine the chicory cold brew concentrate, milk, vanilla syrup, and caramel syrup.
- Stir well to combine.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- If using, top with cold foam.
- For the crème brûlée effect, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of the coffee or cold foam.
- Carefully torch the sugar until it caramelizes and forms a hard, crackly crust.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your coffeehouse copycat treat.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup.
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can skip the torching step or try to caramelize the sugar under a broiler for a very short time, watching it closely.
- This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicory coffee.
