FAQs

Can I Use Hot Coffee Instead of Cold Brew?

Yes—just chill the coffee before blending, then proceed with the recipe.

Will the Peanut Butter Clump?

Not if blended well. A blender is best, but vigorous whisking works in a pinch.

Is It Very Sweet?

It depends on the simple syrup amount—start with less and add more if needed.

Can I Use Crunchy Peanut Butter?

Yes—expect a slightly chunkier texture and more nutty flavor.

Can I Make It Dairy-Free?

Absolutely—use plant-based milk like soy, almond, or oat milk.

Is This Suitable for Kids?

Yes—if caffeine is a concern, swap the cold brew for decaf or even cold milk.

Can I Prep It in Advance?

You can blend it and store it in the fridge for up to half a day, though texture may require a quick stir before serving.

Can I Blend in Extras?

Yes—banana, cacao nibs, or a spoonful of chocolate hazelnut spread can add flair.

Will It Become Thin Over Time?

Yes—stir before drinking if it settles, as heavier components may separate.
