Cold brew is the slow drink on the Tim Hortons menu: coffee steeped in cold water for many hours rather than brewed hot and chilled, which is why the listings describe it as smoother and less acidic than an iced coffee. Six builds make up the line, from a zero-calorie black to the rotating cold foam versions. This page prices all of them and deals with the two claims that follow cold brew around, the steep time and the Nitro that does not exist.

Like the iced coffee, the standard cold brew build is pre-sweetened on the fullest listing, and the black version is the same drink with nothing in it at the same price. The cold foam builds hold one flat ladder on every listing: roasted hazelnut with espresso cold foam, toasted marshmallow with infused cold foam and caramel toffee with espresso-infused foam have been the recent cycle, and the flavours rotate with the season, so check the board for what is pouring now.
The steep time and the Nitro question
No listing puts a number of hours on the steep. The strongest statements anywhere are many hours, a long steep, and steeped slowly and cold from the start. Sites that tell you Tim Hortons steeps for a specific 16 or 20 hours are quoting coffee culture in general, not a published Tim Hortons figure. As for Nitro: the word appears on none of the four listings this site cross-checks. There is no Nitro cold brew on the Canadian menu as published, in any size, at any price.
Caffeine and sugar
Cold brew carries more caffeine per millilitre than drip coffee because of the long steep; that much the listings agree on. The most-cited third-party estimate table puts a medium at roughly 200 to 250 milligrams, above a medium brewed coffee, and Tim Hortons publishes no figure of its own. Sugar grams are not published for any cold brew either, sweetened or vanilla, only calories. The black version’s zero calories is the one complete nutrition fact in the line.
