DJ Jesus’ Holy Water Cold Brew
Inspired by the divine, yet delightfully absurd, DJ Jesus, this cold brew offers a transcendentally smooth coffee experience, crowned with a cloud of vanilla sweet cream foam, preparing you for whatever surreal adventures San Francisco throws your way. It's an elixir that balances the mellow depths of long-steeped coffee with a whisper of ethereal sweetness, fit for both saints and sinners navigating the daily grind.
Directions
- 1
In a large pitcher or jar, combine the coarse-ground coffee with 3 cups of filtered cold water, ensuring all coffee grounds are fully submerged.
- 2
Stir gently to saturate the grounds, then cover the container and refrigerate for 16 to 24 hours, allowing the coffee to slowly steep and develop its smooth flavor.
- 3
After steeping, line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth or a clean coffee filter and place it over a large bowl or pitcher.
- 4
Carefully pour the cold brew concentrate through the lined sieve, allowing it to drip naturally into the bowl without pressing the grounds, which can lead to bitterness.
- 5
Discard the spent coffee grounds and cheesecloth, then transfer the cold brew concentrate to a clean airtight container; this concentrate will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
- 6
To prepare the vanilla sweet cream foam, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt in a medium bowl.
- 7
Using a whisk or a milk frother, vigorously whisk the cream mixture until it thickens to a pourable, foamy consistency with soft peaks, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- 8
To serve, fill a glass with ice, then pour in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cold brew concentrate.
- 9
Add 1/2 to 1 cup of the remaining 1 cup of filtered cold water to dilute the cold brew to your desired strength, stirring gently to combine.

Crown your divine concoction with a generous dollop of the vanilla sweet cream foam, watch it swirl like heavenly clouds, and serve immediately.
