Banana Bread Cold Brew

Banana bread in coffee form! This cold brew has all of the delicious flavors of banana bread in it, and is topped with a banana bread cold foam. Try it with our Italian Espresso Ground Coffee, which is extra bold with notes of dark cocoa & a rich mouth feel.

Ingredients:

Cold Brew

1/2 c. PapaNicholas Italian Espresso Coffee Grounds (110g)
32 oz. cold water

Banana Bread Syrup

7 oz. water (200 mL)
1 c. light brown sugar (200g)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. butter extract
1 tsp. vanilla extract
60g chopped walnuts (1/2 c.)

Banana Bread Cold Foam

3 tbsp. heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp. banana milk
1 tbsp. banana bread syrup

Instructions:

Step 1: Brew the cold brew. Add the coffee grounds and water to a french press. Stir the mixture well, then place the lid on top of the french press and let the coffee steep in the fridge overnight. Once the coffee has steeped overnight, slowly push down on the french press to separate out the coffee grounds.

Step 2: Make the banana bread syrup. To a small saucepan, add in the water, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter extract, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts. Set the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a simmer. Let the syrup simmer for 5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.

Step 3: Let the syrup sit for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse together. Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl or container, and pour the syrup through it to remove all the walnuts.

Step 4: Make the banana bread cold foam. Add the heavy cream, banana milk, and 1 tbsp. of the banana bread syrup to a small cup or container. Froth or shake the mixture until it's thick and foamy.

Step 5: Assemble your drink! Pour 1 tbsp. of banana bread syrup into a cup.
