I’ve been a big fan of Starbucks summer drinks! See my Pink Drink and Lemon Fizz. One of my favorite new Starbucks indulgences is their Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew! Living in Arizona, cold brew has become my go-to coffee consumption form since it is hot, hot, hot here! Since I try to keep my Starbucks habit to a minimum due to the price and the ingredient list, I knew I had to make the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew at home. I am so happy with the results! Best part this drink can easily be made vegan by swapping maple syrup for honey. This creamy, slightly sweet drink is perfect for a late summer treat and all winter long here in Arizona! I know I will be enjoying this Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew all year long!

Hi,
I love your recipes but the only thing is that some of your ingredients are not available in Europe (I live in Belgium). So not sure how to replace them with something else …;
