Starbucks Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew

Starbucks Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew combines smooth cold brew coffee steeped over at least 12 hours with a homemade vanilla sweet cream. The rich vanilla syrup is made by boiling sugar and water, then cooled and mixed with milk and heavy cream to create a creamy, sweet topping. This drink balances the bold, chilled coffee taste with a silky, lightly sweet vanilla cream that adds sweetness without overpowering the coffee's depth.
