This Valentine’s Day gift your loved one with a cold brew on us, sans the alcohol. In fact, you can even start your morning with this sweet treat! We’re talking about a cold brew ice cream float, guaranteed to satisfy all your February 14 cravings.

The cold brew ice cream float is ideal because it can be customized to your loved ones’ desires.

We say go wild.

  • 8 ounces of seltzer water

  • 4 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream

  • 1 can of whipped cream

  • Cacao nibs for the topping

  1. Brew the coffee and pour 4 ounces into 2 tall, chilled glasses

  2. Stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream

  3. Add 4 ounces of seltzer water to each glass and stir

  4. Add in 2 scoops of ice cream and fill to the top with either cold brew or seltzer water, depending on preference
