Blushing Vanilla Refresher
Bright pomegranate hits first, then the vanilla comes in like a warm hug. Two shots of Talking Crow espresso keep it grounded and the vanilla cold foam makes it dreamy.
Here’s how to build the drink.
To an 11 oz glass add:
1 oz Pomegranate juice
½ - 1 oz vanilla simple syrup
2 shots of Talking Crow espresso, cooled (we used our decaf Mexico Chiapas)
Milk to fill to 1/2 - 2/3 of the glass
Ice to almost the top of the glass
Top with vanilla cold foam
Vanilla Simple Syrup
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean pod, split and scraped OR 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract.
In a pot, combine the water and sugar and vanilla bean pod scrapings. If using vanilla extract, do not add yet.
Over a medium heat, stir to dissolve sugar completely. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
Store in a cute jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Vanilla Cold Foam
3 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla simple syrup
Mix with a milk-frother until doubled in size and thickened, but still pourable.
