If you’re looking for a coffee drink that’s smooth, full of flavour, and just a little indulgent, this is the one to try. Cold brew is already one of the best ways to bring out the sweetness and natural complexity in a coffee—but with Midnight Canopy, it becomes something really special.
With its light roast profile, nutty body, citrus brightness and subtle floral sweetness, Midnight Canopy makes the perfect base for a refreshing cold brew with a twist. The gentle addition of cinnamon and a splash of milk or cream brings out the coffee’s natural caramel and toffee notes while keeping everything beautifully balanced.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning or need something to perk you up on a warm afternoon, this is the drink that delivers.
What You’ll Need
Equipment:
-
A cold brew maker or large mason jar + fine strainer or cheesecloth
-
Coffee grinder (if you're using whole beans)
-
Measuring scales or scoop
-
A jug or carafe
Ingredients:
-
60g of Midnight Canopy, coarsely ground
-
1 litre of cold, filtered water
-
¼ tsp ground cinnamon (or one small cinnamon stick)
-
Optional: milk, cream, or dairy-free alternative
-
Optional: simple syrup or brown sugar to sweeten
How to Make It
Step 1: Grind your beans
We recommend grinding 60g of Midnight Canopy coarsely—think sea salt texture. This gives you a smooth cold brew without too much bitterness or sediment.
Step 2: Brew it slowly
In your jar or cold brew maker, combine the coffee grounds with 1 litre of cold filtered water. Add the cinnamon (either ground or a stick), stir gently, and cover. Let it steep in the fridge for 12 to 16 hours.
Step 3: Strain carefully
After brewing, strain the coffee using a fine mesh sieve, coffee filter, or cheesecloth to remove all grounds. If you're using a cold brew maker, this bit is easy.
Step 4: Serve and customise
Pour over ice and enjoy it straight, or add a splash of milk or cream to enhance Midnight Canopy’s natural caramel and floral notes. If you like it sweet, add a dash of simple syrup or a teaspoon of brown sugar for a soft, molasses-like finish.
Why This Works So Well with Midnight Canopy
Midnight Canopy’s light roast and clean, balanced flavour make it an ideal match for cold brew. The extended steeping process pulls out the coffee’s natural sweetness and depth, while the cinnamon highlights its nutty and caramel undertones without overpowering it.
It’s smooth, refreshing, and a little luxurious—just like the Military Macaw that inspired it.
Tip: Make a bigger batch and keep it in the fridge—it stays fresh for up to 5 days, ready whenever you are.
Whether it’s your afternoon treat or a weekend staple, this cinnamon cold brew is an easy way to enjoy Midnight Canopy at its best. ☕✨
