Method

01

Toast the coconut and make the syrup

Place a small skillet over medium-low heat and toast the shredded coconut, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a saucepan with the sugar and water, bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and let steep 5 minutes. Strain and cool slightly.

02

Steep and build the glasses

Divide the ice between 2 tall glasses and pour 1 cup of cold brew into each. Stir 1 tablespoon of the toasted coconut syrup into each glass, then taste and add a little more if you like it sweeter.

03

Finish with coconut milk

Slowly pour 2 tablespoons of canned coconut milk into each glass so it clouds softly. Stir gently if you like and serve right away.
