Cold brew coffee, known for its smooth and less acidic profile, originated in Japan in the 1600s but has recently gained global popularity.
This recipe uses a medium-dark roast coffee, coarsely ground and steeped for 12-24 hours to extract maximum flavor. The pistachio cream syrup is homemade, combining real pistachios with sugar and vanilla for an authentic taste. The result is a perfectly balanced, refreshing drink that's both indulgent and energizing.
