Equipment

  • French press
  • kettle
  • Measuring spoon
  • Stirring spoon
  • Glass
  • Ice Tray

Ingredients
  

Coffee Base

  • 30 g coffee medium coarse grind
  • 500 ml hot water
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Milk or sweetener optional

Instructions
 

  • Add medium-coarse ground coffee to the French press for balanced extraction.
  • Pour hot water over the grounds evenly and stir gently to saturate.
  • Add vanilla extract and stir lightly to distribute flavor evenly.
  • Place lid and let coffee steep for four minutes without pressing.
  • Press the plunger slowly and steadily to separate grounds.
  • Fill a glass with ice and pour the coffee over it. Add milk if desired.

Notes

Adjust grind size to control texture; coarser creates smoother coffee, finer increases strength. Avoid over-steeping to reduce bitterness. Use large ice cubes to prevent dilution. Customize with caramel or spices. Store brewed coffee in the refrigerator up to two days for best flavor.
