Steps:
- Make the toasted coconut syrup:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 10 minutes.

- Strain syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl or resealable glass container, pushing down on solids to extract as much syrup as possible. You should have about 1/3 cup.
- Make the drink:
- Fill a glass with ice and add cold brew. Stir in desired amount of syrup (about 2 Tbsp.) Top with a splash of coconut milk.
- Do Ahead
- Toasted coconut syrup can be made 7 days ahead; store in an airtight container and chill.

Steps:
- Place coffee and coconut in large bowl, jar, or pot. Slowly pour in 8 cups cool water and stir very gently until grounds are just moistened. Cover and chill 24 hours.
- Strain coffee grounds through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass or bowl. Discard grinds. Line sieve with a coffee filter and add as much coffee as will fit. Strain gradually into a 1-qt. airtight container or jar, adding more coffee as space is available until all the coffee has been added. Allow grounds to sit in strainer and continue to drip 20 minutes.
- To serve, pour 1/2 cup coffee into an ice-filled glass; add ½ cup milk and 1 tsp. maple syrup and stir to combine.
- Do Ahead
- Cold brew (without milk and maple syrup) can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.
Tips:
- For a stronger coconut flavor, use coconut milk instead of water when brewing the coffee.
- Add a scoop of coconut ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to your cold brew for a decadent treat.
- Garnish your cold brew with toasted coconut flakes, shredded coconut, or a wedge of lime.
- Experiment with different types of coconut milk to find your favorite flavor. For example, Thai Kitchen's coconut milk has a rich, creamy flavor, while Aroy-D's coconut milk has a more subtle flavor.
- If you don't have a cold brew maker, you can make cold brew in a French press or a mason jar. Simply combine the coffee grounds and coconut milk in the container, cover it, and let it steep in the fridge for 12-24 hours. Then, strain the coffee and enjoy.
