11. Homemade Nitro Cold Brew
Using a whipped cream dispenser to make your own brewed coffee at home, you can recreate the velvety foam from nitro cold brews served in cafes. Whipped cream dispensers charge cold brews with nitro gas to give them that nitro coffee feel. To prepare nitro cold brew coffee yourself, pour cold brew coffee into the whipped cream dispenser. Then close the lid and put a nitro charger on it. After doing that, shake the dispenser gently. This will create a frothy, cascading pour effect by incorporating tiny nitrogen bubbles into the coffee. The N2O (Nitrous Oxide) gas will create a creamy texture to the coffee without using dairy and will reduce the natural bitterness of the coffee. You can drink it straight away, or you could make it even better by adding some vanilla syrup or sprinkling cocoa powder to sweeten it. This method greatly improves your cold brew.
12. Honey Lavender Cold Brew
The twist on the traditional cold brew is the Honey Lavender Cold Brew. At first, the soothing and calming notes of the brew are on the lavender syrup and honey. Together, they create a sweet calm brew. The lavender aroma couples nicely with the coffee’s rich roasted notes; while the honey adds the sweetness to balance the brew. After a long day, this is a perfect brew to unwind with. Or in the case of a slow Sunday, this is an excellent brew to relax with. Perfect on its own, this brew is a companion to sweet, light pastries and buttery scones. A delightful self-care moment awaits.

The carbonation will provide a great contrast to the smoothness of the cold brew coffee, making this an excellent drink choice for a mid-day pick me up or a brunch drink. To finish off the drink, consider placing a sprig of rosemary on top for an added aroma. Ice will provide a refreshing coolness on a hot day.
