When the weather heats up, a cool iced coffee is very refreshing and easy to make. All that's needed is a little time as the coffee needs a few hours in the fridge. I first made home-made iced coffee after visiting New Orleans and buying some Cafe Du Monde coffee. Their beignets were delicious!
It can get a bit messy when filtering the coffee but at least I'm left with plenty of granules for the composting bin!
Iced Coffee
Makes approx. 900ml / 28floz
Ingredients:
- 1000ml / 32floz (1 quart) cold water
- 56g / 2oz coffee
Method:
In a tub or bowl, mix the coffee into the water.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
Using a coffee pot (turned off), pour the cold coffee through a paper filter. Several paper filters may need to be used as a large amount of coffee granules will be collected.
Alternatively, the cold coffee can be poured into a French press.
Store the cold filtered coffee in a bottle in the fridge. Pour over ice and milk (if desired) to make a refreshing drink.
ENJOY!
