GoldLine Iced: Heavy Cream Standard
Brew Recipe · 3 min read
Light roast precision over ice. Clean, sweet, no bitterness. Heavy cream finishes it.
The Standard
Coffee: Gold Line · 2 oz / 56g
Water: 8 oz / 226g cold brew prepared at double strength (1:1 ratio)
Ice: Filled to rim
Cream: 1.5 oz / 43g heavy cream, shaken
Why This Works
Cold brew at double strength tastes clean and full without bitterness. Gold Line's light roast is built for clarity — it doesn't need a heavy hand to shine. Heavy cream doesn't mask the flavor; it completes it. The ratio stays true to the Zero Brew Standard: 2 grams of coffee per ounce of water.
Cold brew prep: Use a 1:1 coffee-to-water ratio for the brew. Let it sit 12-18 hours in the refrigerator. Strain through a fine mesh. This is your concentrate — pour 4 oz over ice and add 4 oz cold water to reach the standard.
How to Make It
1. Brew the cold brew concentrate. Measure 56g Gold Line into a jar. Add 56g cold water. Stir. Seal. Refrigerate 12-18 hours. Strain through fine mesh or cheesecloth.
2. Prepare the glass. Fill a 12oz glass with ice to the rim.
3. Add cold brew and water. Pour 4 oz concentrate into the ice, then 4 oz cold water. Stir once.
4. Cream it. Shake heavy cream in a jar for 10 seconds — this aerates it slightly. Pour 1.5 oz slowly against the glass so it floats on top. Don't stir. The cream settles as you drink, finishing the cup.
Light roast. Clean extraction. Precision finished.
