Why Choose Mexican Vanilla?
The Flavor Profile
Mexican vanilla is known for its rich, creamy, and slightly spicy flavor. Unlike its counterparts from Madagascar or Tahiti, Mexican vanilla has a unique smoky undertone that adds depth and complexity to any dish. When used in cold brew coffee, it adds a subtle sweetness and a touch of warmth, making it the perfect addition to your summer beverage.
The Quality
Mexico's warm and humid climate provides the perfect conditions for growing vanilla beans. These beans are hand-picked and sun-cured, resulting in a higher quality and more flavorful vanilla. Mexican vanilla is also known for its high concentration of vanillin, the compound responsible for the distinct vanilla flavor. So, when choosing vanilla for your cold brew coffee, Mexican vanilla is definitely the way to go.
The Sustainability
By choosing Mexican vanilla, you’re not only getting a delicious flavor, but you’re also supporting sustainable practices. Mexico is one of the few countries that still hand-pollinates their vanilla orchids, rather than relying on artificial methods. This not only ensures the quality of the beans but also helps preserve the delicate ecosystem in which they grow. So, by using Mexican vanilla in your cold brew coffee, you’re not only treating your taste buds, but also the environment.

Now that you know why Mexican vanilla is the star of this recipe, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of making this delicious cold brew coffee.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee beans
