Enjoy this refreshing and magical Starbucks copycat drink, Elphaba's Cold Brew, featuring a mint-infused cold brew coffee topped with silky smooth nondairy matcha cold foam. Perfect for a cool, energizing treat with a touch of green enchantment.

  • Total Time: 3 minutes
  • Yield: 1 drink

Ingredients

Non-Dairy Matcha Cold Foam

  • 2 tablespoons barista-style oat milk
  • 1 ½ tablespoons vanilla syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy milk (preferably barista blend)
  • 1 teaspoon pure matcha powder

Elphaba's Green Elixir

  • 1 ½ cups cold brew coffee
  • 1 tablespoon peppermint syrup
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • Ice
  • Pink & green sprinkles (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Make the cold foam: Add all the cold foam ingredients—barista-style oat milk, vanilla syrup, soy milk, and matcha powder—into a small mason jar or glass. Using a milk frother, froth the mixture for 20 to 30 seconds until it becomes fully whipped and creamy. Set this aside for topping.
  2. Prepare Elphaba's Green Elixir: Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the peppermint syrup and vanilla syrup, followed by the cold brew coffee. Stir thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly throughout the drink.
  3. Assemble the drink: Gently spoon the nondairy matcha cold foam over the top of the cold brew mixture. If desired, sprinkle pink and green sprinkles over the foam to add a festive and colorful finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your witchy Elphaba's Cold Brew!

Notes

  • Use barista-style oat and soy milk for the best foam texture and creaminess.
  • Adjust the amount of peppermint and vanilla syrup to taste, depending on your preferred sweetness and mintiness.
  • The sprinkles are optional but add a fun aesthetic touch perfect for themed occasions.
  • For a vegan version, ensure all syrups used are vegan-friendly.
  • Cold brew coffee pre-made or store-bought works well to save prep time.
