What you'll need
-

-

-

Step by step
-
Grab your glass
Take out your favorite glass. The taller the better.
-
Load it with ice
Fill it up with a generous amount of ice. Don't be shy — more ice means the drink stays cold longer and the concentrate dilutes at just the right pace.
-
Add the cold brew
Pour in one part Rook Cold Brew Concentrate.
-
Add your milk
Pour in one part of your milk of choice. Oat milk, whole milk, almond, coconut — whatever makes you happy.
-
Sweeten if you like
Add your favorite sweetener to taste.
Simple syrup mixes the best with cold brew — it blends in evenly without any graininess.
-
Mix it up and enjoy
Give it a good stir and enjoy. That's genuinely it — you did it.
We recommend tossing the cold brew from cup to pitcher a few times for the best mix. It also lets some air in, making the cold brew extra smooth and creamy!
Tips to level up
Simple syrup is the move
Regular sugar doesn't dissolve well in cold liquids. Simple syrup (equal parts sugar and hot water, stirred until dissolved) mixes in instantly and evenly every time.
The ratio is everything
The 1:1 ratio is a great starting point, but it's your drink. Want it like we have it in stores? Go with 1:1. Want it a bit stronger? Go with more concentrate. A little lighter? Go with more milk or water, and dial it in from there.
Try it black first
Before adding milk or sweetener, taste it straight over ice. You might be surprised — cold brew concentrate is naturally smooth and less bitter than hot coffee. Not too much though! This stuff can be strong!
Ice, ice, ice
We always recommend putting as much ice as you can fit in your glass. Keep it extra cold and watch the beautiful array of color as cold brew and milk blend together. Want to go crazy? Freeze leftover cold brew into ice cubes. As they melt, they keep your drink cold without watering it down. Game changer.
