Substitutions
Agave Nectar: Swap with 100%, light maple syrup (the maple flavor is not as strong as a dark syrup).
Vegan Whipping Cream: I used Silk’s Dairy-Free Whipping Cream Alternative, as shown in the image above. There may be other brands that make vegan whipping cream, but this one is my go-to because of the taste and texture.
Cold Brew: Use a vanilla-flavored or neutral cold brew flavor of choice.
Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew Recipe Notes
