How to Make S’mores Cold Brew

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

Start by moistening the edge of your glass or mason jar. This step is essential because it allows you to create a delicious crust of crushed graham crackers that adds texture and flavor. Dip the moistened edge into the bowl of crushed graham crackers until well-coated.

Step 2: Add Chocolate Syrup

Next, drizzle chocolate syrup into the bottom of your prepared glass. This not only adds beautiful visual appeal but also gives each sip an extra layer of rich chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with coffee.

Step 3: Pour in Cold Brew

Now it’s time to pour in your cold brew or iced coffee. If you choose cold brew, you’ll get an even bolder taste that enhances the entire drink experience. Take a moment here—you’ll love watching those layers form!

Step 4: Mix in Creamer and Syrup

Add two tablespoons of creamer and one-and-a-half tablespoons of s’mores-flavored syrup into the glass. Using a long utensil, stir gently to combine everything. This blending is crucial as it ensures every sip is as flavorful as possible.

Step 5: Add Ice

Feel free to add ice based on your preference. More ice will keep your drink chilled longer—perfect for hot days when you’re craving something refreshing!

Step 6: Top with Marshmallows

The final touch! Cover the top of your drink with a handful of vegan marshmallows. For an extra special treat, lightly toast the marshmallows using a culinary lighter—this adds warmth and depth that will remind you of campfire nights.

Step 7: Finish It Off

Drizzle some more chocolate syrup over the top before popping in a straw. Now, take a moment to admire your creation; it looks as good as it tastes!

Enjoy this S’mores Cold Brew at home anytime you crave something sweet and satisfying—a true treat in every sip!
