How to Make a Cold Brew French Press
Makes 1 drink
What You Need
1 1/2 cups cold water, preferably filtered
Ice, to taste
Milk, to taste
Sweeteners such as flavored syrups, caramel, or melted
chocolate, optional. (Here I used stevia for sweetness.)
Equipment
Coffee grinder
French press
Instructions
Grind the coffee beans: Grind 1/3 cup of coffee beans until
they are coarse enough to be filtered by the French press, yet fine enough to
infuse well. On my burr grinder, I grind right in between middle and fine.
Combine the ground coffee and water in the French press:
Pour the ground coffee into the French press and top with 1 1/2 cups of water.
Stir to incorporate: Gently stir the coffee with the water
until well blended.
Put on French press lid: Make sure the plunger is in the up
position.
Place the French press in the refrigerator and steep
overnight: Leave the plunger in the up position so the grounds infuse the water
overnight.
Plunge to separate the coffee from the grounds: The next
morning, plunge the French press to separate the coffee from the grounds.
Make your iced coffee:
Fill a glass with ice cubes and fill partway with milk. Fill
the rest of the glass with iced coffee. Stir to combine and enjoy!
