- 1/2 cup plant-based milk of choice

Notes
- Use a stronger cold brew concentrate if you prefer a more intense coffee flavor without dilution.
- Freshly ground spices maximize aroma and flavor complexity.
- Chill coffee and plant-based milk before mixing to maintain the ideal cold temperature and texture.
- Add sweeteners gradually to adjust to your preferred level of sweetness.
- For a frothy texture, shake the coffee and milk mixture in a sealed jar before pouring over ice.
