This recipe makes a delicious cooling drink for the hot summer months. Try with a few mint leaves, a cinnamon stick, or some orange peel for different flavours. Or make ice cubes out of your cold brew and pour Baileys over them for a great after dinner drink.
This keeps well in the fridge for a few weeks when bottled. Check out or recommended coffees to use in this recipe at the bottom of the page.
