tasty lavender iced coffee, spent some time with mister B, and started round two of LOST watching (obsessed)
Here's how I make cold brew French press, because it's great and you should make it, too.
In a French press, add 2/3 cup fresh ground coffee and 3 cups cold water. Let sit for an hour or so, stir. Sit for 18-24 hours. I usually start this in the afternoon on the counter, stir it once more and put it in the fridge overnight. In the morning, press and pour over ice.
I like mine with milk and honey or simple syrup (recipe below)
Wonderful for spring/summer mornings, especially if you drink it outside :)
Simple Syrup:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- something to flavor it; herbs, spices, extracts, fruit... (lavender buds are my favorite)
Stir everything together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat right away and let sit until cooled. Easy easy.
