Tips and swaps
- Swap the syrup: Late Bloom · Vanilla Macadamia Syrup — made with real macadamia. Toasted nut over our vanilla: buttery, a little nutty, and made for oat milk.
- Swap the syrup: Low Lamp · Brown Sugar Syrup — real dark brown sugar, cooked slow. No cinnamon, no flavorings, just the caramel depth cold brew wants.
