Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making S’mores Cold Brew at home is easy, but common mistakes can ruin the experience. Here are some pitfalls to watch out for:

• Not crushing the graham crackers finely: If the crackers are too chunky, they won’t stick to the glass properly. Use a food processor or a rolling pin for a fine crumb.

• Skipping the chocolate syrup drizzle: This step adds flavor and visual appeal. Don’t skip it! Drizzle it generously along the sides of your glass before adding coffee.

• Overlooking the creamer: Using too little creamer can lead to a bitter taste. Adjust based on your preference for creaminess in your beverage.

• Using hot coffee instead of cold brew: Hot coffee can change the texture and flavor profile of your drink. Always opt for cold brew for that smooth, bold taste.

• Ignoring topping options: Toasting vegan marshmallows enhances flavor and adds a nice touch. Use a culinary lighter or broiler for an extra special finish.
