Making the Coffee Cubes

  1. Prepare Cold Brew: Combine coarsely ground coffee with room temperature water in a jar. Stir well and steep for 12 hours at room temperature or in fridge
  2. Strain: Filter through fine mesh strainer or coffee filter to remove all grounds
  3. Mix Flavors: In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of cold brew concentrate, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined
  4. Taste and Adjust: Add more maple syrup if desired sweetness level isn't reached
  5. Fill Ice Trays: Pour mixture into ice cube trays, filling each compartment completely
  6. Freeze: Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until solid
  7. Serve: Add 3-4 cubes to a glass of cold milk, cream, or additional cold brew and enjoy as they slowly melt

Pro Tips

Pro Tips

  • Make ahead: These cubes keep for up to 2 weeks in the freezer - make a big batch!
  • Silicone trays work best: Easier to remove the frozen cubes without breaking
  • Double strength: The concentrate should taste strong since it will be diluted when melting
  • Experiment with spices: Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for variation
  • Perfect ratio: Use 3-4 cubes per 8oz of milk or cold brew for optimal flavor balance
