Pro Tips

**Cold brew concentrate** can be made up to 2 weeks ahead and stored in the fridge
**Fresh sage leaves** work best - dried ones won't give the same bright flavor
**Strain the blackberry syrup** twice for the smoothest texture
**Use grade A vanilla beans** for the best vanilla flavor in the sweet cream
