  2. Strain twice through a coffee filter or a fine-mesh sieve lined with a cheesecloth. Water can be added to dilute, if desired.
  3. Optionally, for an extra high-protein coffee, add in Multi Collagen Protein Cold Brew powder and froth well.
  4. In a medium bowl or Mason jar, add cold brew, 2 scoops Multi Collagen Protein, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Use a milk frother to blend together until completely combined.
  5. In a glass or coffee cup, add ice. Pour coffee into the glass and top with almond milk or oat milk. You can also optionally top with frothed coconut milk, coconut whipped cream, cacao nibs or sprinkled cocoa powder.
