Ingredients

Scale

Coffee Base

  • 1 cup coarse ground medium-dark roast coffee
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 2 stalks fresh lemongrass, bruised and roughly chopped
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves

Coconut Cream Mix

  • 1 cup coconut cream
  • Ice cubes for serving
  • Simple syrup to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large jar, add the coarse ground coffee, bruised and roughly chopped lemongrass stalks, and kaffir lime leaves. This forms the flavorful base of your cold brew.
  2. Add Water: Pour in the filtered water and stir gently to ensure that all the coffee grounds are fully saturated with water and the flavors start to meld together.
  3. Refrigerate to Brew: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for 16 hours to allow the coffee and aromatics to steep slowly.
  4. Strain Mixture: After brewing, strain the cold brew concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove coffee grounds, lemongrass pieces, and kaffir lime leaves. For a smoother texture, strain twice.
  5. Prepare Serving: For each serving, mix 1/2 cup of the cold brew concentrate with 1/4 cup of coconut cream. Add ice cubes to your glass.
  6. Sweeten and Serve: Add simple syrup to taste if preferred, stir well to combine, and serve immediately. Enjoy the tropical, creamy iced coffee.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves for the best aromatic and bright flavor.
  • Bruising the lemongrass releases its essential oils, enhancing the infusion.
  • Strain the concentrate twice to remove any fine particles for a smooth drinking experience.
  • Store the cold brew concentrate in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks for future use.
  • Adjust sweetness with simple syrup according to your preference or omit for a natural flavor.
