Arlene De La Cruz is a district manager in New York, who helped open the <a href="https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2018/starbucks-reserve-roastery-begins-its-unique-new-york-state-of-grind/">Starbucks Reserve Roastery in New York</a> in 2018. From her own home kitchen in the Washington Heights neighborhood, she will show you how to make this smooth, delicious staple using a piece of brewing equipment you may already have – a coffee press.

“Cold brew is one of my favorite year-round beverages, I drink it all year,” she said. “I’ll show you an easy way to make it at home.”

But wait, there’s more – she’ll also show you how to give your cold brew a sophisticated twist inspired by two favorites on the menu at <a href="https://www.starbucksreserve.com/en-us/visit">Starbucks Reserve Roastery locations</a> around the world.*

Here’s what you’ll need: coffee press, ground Starbucks® coffee (we love a medium roast) and water. &nbsp;

Scoop 82 grams (about 1 cup or 8 coffee scoops) of coarse-ground coffee into an 8-cup coffee press. Pour 2 cups of cool water into press. Stir with a spoon or spatula to wet the coffee grounds.

3. Place plunger and brew

Cover, but don’t plunge, and place in refrigerator. Allow to steep in the refrigerator 16-20 hours.

Take finished cold brew out of the fridge and slowly plunge the coffee press. This yields about 8 cups of cold brew concentrate. Pour into another container (such as a pitcher or large jar) and store up to seven days in refrigerator. Fill a glass of ice halfway with cold brew concentrate and top with a few ounces of cold water to enjoy as is, or keep going to learn how to give your cold brew a tasty twist.

Now, the (even more) fun part

Inspired by the coffee + ice cream beverages at the Starbucks Reserve Roasteries, the cold brew float features creamy swirls of vanilla ice cream mingling with the coffee’s smooth chocolate notes.

Taking inspiration from the Roasteries’ Sparkling Citrus Espresso beverage which features espresso shaken with ice and poured over sparkling tonic and aromatic bitters, this is a fizzy and flavorful mocktail for whenever you’re feeling fancy.
