Cold Brew Milkshakes – French Press Cold Brew

Cold brew is to the summer what pumpkin spice is to the Fall. This time of year we begin to see different types of cold brew popping up at all the restaurants. A few summers ago I began making my own cold brew. That same summer I tried a cold brew milkshake at a little ice cream stand we liked to frequent in the summer. Due to the cost and to the fact that we moved far, far away from that place, I needed to try making my own.

The thing about this milkshake recipe is that there are lot of factors involved to make it into a drink that you personally like. For this reason, I am going to share the bones of the recipe and tell you a few adaptions that can be made, but the list really is endless on what you can add or change in this.

Ultimately what you need to make a cold brew milkshake is cold brew and ice cream and a blender! I recommend a French Vanilla ice cream. The ratio of ice cream to cold brew to ice cream is really going to be dependent on your preference and the strength of your cold brew. I would recommend starting with 1 cup of cold brew concentrate to 2 cups vanilla ice cream. If you want to emphasize the vanilla flavour add some vanilla extract. Throw that it in a blender and mix until combined.

Top it with some whipped cream and your good to go!

Some other adaptions is switching up the ice cream flavour. We tried it with an ice cream that had chocolate and vanilla and caramel in it and that was delicious too! Also adding some caramel sauce topping on top is a delicious additive. You could also experiment with some flavoured creamers if you were interested in adding some more flavours.
