FAQs
Can I use hot coffee instead of cold brew?
While you can, cold brew coffee provides a smoother, less acidic taste that pairs better with the maple and salt. Hot coffee may create a different flavor profile and will require cooling before adding ice.
What type of salt works best?
A fine sea salt or kosher salt is ideal as it dissolves easily and enhances the flavors without overpowering the drink.
