Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cold brew concentrate 1:4 coffee-to-water ratio, steeped 18 hours
  • 8 oz cold water
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: pinch of flaky sea salt

Equipment

  • French press
  • tall glasses
  • long spoon
  • ice cube tray

Method
 

  1. Brew cold brew concentrate 24 hours ahead: mix 1 cup coarse-ground coffee with 4 cups cold water in a French press. Steep at room temperature for 18 hours, then press and refrigerate.
  2. Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
  3. Pour 2 oz cold brew concentrate into each glass.
  4. Add 4 oz cold water to each glass and stir gently.
  5. Top each with one scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  6. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the foam for balance.
  7. Serve immediately alongside a slice of pizza.

Notes

The cold brew concentrate keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For a dairy-free version, use coconut milk ice cream. The salt is optional but cuts through the pizza's richness beautifully.
