4 cups cold water Filtered water is recommended.

½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup milk Use any type of milk, dairy or non-dairy.

Method

Preparation

Combine the coffee and cold water in a large pitcher.
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and chill for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours.
After chilling, pour the coffee through a coffee filter to strain out the coffee grounds.
In a bowl or another container, combine the heavy cream, milk, chocolate syrup, peppermint extract, and sugar.
Use a milk frother or hand mixer to mix the ingredients until they are frothy.

Assembly

(Optional) Add a chocolate drizzle to the sides of your serving cup.
Fill a glass with ice and pour in the cold brew coffee until the cup is around ¾ full.
Fill the remainder of the glass with the peppermint cream and stir gently to mix.

Notes

Store leftover Peppermint Mocha Cold Brew in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The coffee may separate after a while, so give it a good stir before serving again. Freezing is not recommended as the cream may change texture.
