I made my first gif! I hope you like it. And I made easy cold brew coffee and vanilla bean coconut milk creamer that you’ll want to drink all by itself.
I just started drinking coffee, you guys. Even when going to coffee shops was the coolest thing in high school, I ordered hot chocolate. Then there was the famous incident when Marc and I were newlyweds and I ordered one of those sweet lattes piled high with whipped cream and I couldn’t sleep that night, so I started writing an autobiography. Marc still laughs about that one.
Marc drinks coffee, black, every day. When we’re on vacation or sometimes on the weekends, we’ll go to a nice coffee shop. So many places have such great coffee now that I’ve started to partake. We buy local beans for home and Marc makes a mean cup of coffee, too.
With summer coming up and the sunny days of spring upon us, I thought cold brew would be nice for weekends. You have to plan ahead a little bit, but it’s all easy work. You grind your beans coarsely and add to the French press with water. Cover and let sit at room temp for 12-24 hours. Use the plunger when you’re ready and pour coffee over ice. Add creamer to taste and serve in a cute cup with a cute straw for optimal good times
Love your gif! And congratulations on entering the wonderful world of coffee. I would totally make your recipe if I wasn’t on a Whole 30 (no added sugar, boo!). Saving for later! 🙂
Thanks so much, Erica! I want to try Whole 30 sometime, too. Good luck!
Holla! I lovelovelove every bit of this, Nicole. You knew I would. <3
It’s like I was writing this just for you 🙂 Thanks for the love!
Nicole, I just love your blog almost as much as you!!! & Marc. How do you find all these cool restaurant’s?? I’d love to eat at some of those places, I could totally be a foodie, but a G.F. one \
that is. Love you guys and all the yummy recipes. Thanks for creating such a cool BLOG. xo
You’re so sweet, Sue! Thank you!
I sooo need to try making my own cold brew! I’m coffee obsessed and while I don’t usually use creamer in my coffee, this one sounds AWESOME.
Oh, and I love your gif!!
Thanks so much, Sues! I love that it’s so easy to make cold brew and I hope you love the creamer, too!
Love cold brewed coffee and your fancy gif! What talent!
Thanks, Michelle! 😉
Wow! I am very impressed. We love cold-brewed coffee. We don’t make it regularly but when we do, it goes fast. 🙂
It really does go fast, but it’s so good while it lasts 🙂 Thanks, Kasey!
Cutest gif ever! And it makes me very, very thirsty 🙂 I’m not a coffee drinker but I am all for that coconut milk creamer–I bet it would taste great in some tea!
That’s a great idea, Amy! I’m sure it would be tasty in a nice cup of tea!

This is a great recipe for creamer. I love that its not filled with artificial ingredients like most sweeteners.

That’s what I love about it, too. No mystery ingredients!
