Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Cold Brew Concentrate:
In a large pitcher or jar, combine the coarsely ground coffee beans and the 4 cups of cold filtered water. Stir gently to ensure all coffee grounds are submerged. Cover the pitcher or jar and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 12 to 18 hours, or up to 24 hours for a stronger concentrate. The longer it steeps, the more intense the coffee flavor will be.
2. Strain the Cold Brew:
Once steeped, carefully strain the coffee concentrate to remove the grounds. You can use a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth, a dedicated cold brew maker with a built-in filter, or even a French press (pour slowly to avoid sediment). Discard the coffee grounds. You should have a concentrated coffee liquid.
3. Prepare the Marshmallow Creamer:
In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the heavy cream, marshmallow fluff (or gently melted mini marshmallows), granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined and relatively smooth. If using melted marshmallows, you might have small pockets of melted marshmallow, which will add to the delightful texture.
4. Assemble the Toasted Marshmallow Cold Brew:
Fill your serving glasses generously with ice cubes. Pour about half to two-thirds of the glass with the strained cold brew concentrate.
5. Add the Marshmallow Creamer:
Pour the prepared marshmallow creamer over the cold brew concentrate. Start with about 1/4 cup of creamer per glass and adjust to your preference for sweetness and creaminess. Stir gently to combine.
6. Garnish and Serve:
If desired, top your Toasted Marshmallow Cold Brew with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a sprinkle of toasted mini marshmallows for an extra touch of indulgence. Serve immediately and enjoy this dreamy beverage!

Storing and Reheating Tips
The Toasted Marshmallow Cold Brew concentrate can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 to 2 weeks. The marshmallow creamer mixture should also be stored separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator and will keep for about 3 to 5 days.
To serve, combine fresh ice in a glass, add your desired amount of cold brew concentrate, and then stir in some of the prepared marshmallow creamer. You can also make a fresh batch of creamer if it’s been longer than 5 days. Reheating is not recommended, as cold brew is best served chilled. If you find yourself with too much creamer, you can experiment by drizzling it over pancakes or waffles!
