Honey Cinnamon Cold Brew
I personally whip up this beauty on those rare, sunny Portland mornings when I’m feeling fancy but still want to stay low-key. The honey adds just the right amount of sweetness, and the cinnamon? Oh, that’s my secret weapon. Every sip is like a mini celebration of my impeccable taste. Cheers to that!
Ingredients
Cold Brew:
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
- 4 cups cold filtered water
Honey Cinnamon Syrup:
- 1/4 cup honey feel free to go wild with that local honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup hot water
To Finish:
- Ice cubes because, duh
- Extra cinnamon sticks for garnish and to show off
Instructions
- Make the Cold Brew: Combine coarsely ground coffee beans with cold, filtered water in a large jar. Stir it up, cover, and let it steep in the fridge for 12 hours. It’s like a spa day for your coffee.
- Strain the Cold Brew: After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter into a clean container. This is where the magic happens, folks.
- Prepare the Honey Cinnamon Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine honey and ground cinnamon with hot water. Stir until the honey dissolves completely and the cinnamon is well mixed. Let it cool.
- Assemble Your Drink: Fill a glass with ice, pour in your cold brew until it’s about two-thirds full, and then stir in a generous amount of your honey cinnamon syrup. Taste and adjust sweetness if you’re feeling like a rebel.
- Garnish (Optional): Top with an extra cinnamon stick if you want to flaunt your barista skills. Sip, savor, and bask in the glory of your creation.
