First Watch’s biggest secret
I love the iced coffee at First Watch, and this is what they use! It’s very sweet, and very smooth in milk. I found out due to a kind waitress who passed along the secret. You’ll probably use one within a month if you are a big coffee drinker!

Great for bartending.
Makes a great cold brew martini. I use this bartending all the time. Taste better than most cold brews and a little goes a long way.

FIRST WATCH ICED COFFEE LOVERS!!!
I am absolutely not one to write reviews however after searching the deep depths on the internet on how to make first watch iced coffee I ended up coming across a post that claims they use 2 tbsp of this and then 2% milk and ice. I was like ok. You know what. I’m gonna try to find it on Amazon.
