Method
 

  1. Place your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes to chill.
  2. Pour 1.5 cups of chilled cold brew coffee into the blender.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of sweetener into the blender with the coffee.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of milk, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Slowly add 2 cups of ice cubes into the blender.
  6. Pulse on high speed in short bursts until the mixture resembles wet snow, about 20–30 seconds.

Notes

Freeze coffee in ice cube trays ahead of time and use those cubes for a more intense flavor that won’t dilute as it melts.
