Ice cubes (for serving)

How to Make Peanut Butter Cold Brew

1. Blend the peanut butter and milk

In a blender, combine the peanut butter and milk. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

4. Stir and enjoy!

Give it a quick stir and, for an extra fancy touch, drizzle a little peanut butter or chocolate syrup on top. Sip and enjoy!

Pro Tips

Use high-quality cold brew: If you’re making it from scratch, steep coarsely ground coffee in cold water for 12–24 hours.
Blend for best texture: Hand mixing works in a pinch, but blending gives it a smooth, frothy finish.
Customize your sweetness: Add more maple syrup or use a flavored creamer if you like it sweeter.
Go dairy-free: Oat milk and almond milk work beautifully in this recipe.
Upgrade the garnish: A swirl of peanut butter, cocoa powder, or a sprinkle of cinnamon adds flavor and flair.

Substitutions & Variations

No cold brew? Use strongly brewed coffee that’s been chilled.
Want it thicker? Add a frozen banana for a smoothie-style drink.
Chocolate lover? Add cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a mocha-peanut butter combo.
Nut-free? Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
