    Pour cold brew into a freezer bag in a thin layer and freeze flat for at least 4 hours.

  2. 02

    Wrap the sealed bag in a towel and crush the coffee into small icy pieces with a rolling pin.

  3. 03

03 Know before you cook

Small details, better dinner.

Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.

Technique notes
  • A thin frozen sheet crushes more evenly than coffee frozen in cubes.
  • Use concentrated cold brew so the milk and foam do not mute the coffee.
Useful swaps
  • Freeze decaf cold brew for an evening version.
  • Add cinnamon, orange zest, or a spoonful of chocolate syrup to the foam.
Storage & reheating

Keep the frozen cold brew sheet for up to 2 weeks. Crush and assemble only when ready to drink.
