Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 25 grams medium -fine ground coffee beans
  • 250 grams filtered water at 200°F (93°C)
  • 200 grams fresh ice cubes for the carafe
  • Additional ice for serving
  • Optional : 30 milliliters heavy cream or milk
  • Optional : 15 milliliters simple syrup

Method
 

  1. Place a paper filter in a pour-over dripper and rinse with hot water; discard the rinse water from the vessel.
  2. Add 200 grams of ice cubes directly into the bottom of a heat-resistant carafe or glass.
  3. Place the dripper onto the carafe and add 25 grams of medium-fine coffee grounds to the filter.
  4. Initiate the bloom by pouring 50 grams of hot water over the grounds, ensuring all are saturated; wait 45 seconds.
  5. Pour the remaining 200 grams of water in concentric circles, maintaining a steady flow to complete the brew within 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Remove the dripper once the liquid has finished draining through the coffee bed.
  7. Swirl the carafe vigorously for 15 seconds to flash-chill the coffee concentrate against the melting ice.
  8. Pour the resulting chilled coffee into a serving glass filled with fresh ice and add dairy or sweetener if desired.
