We all need a little pick-me-up once in a while, and this delicious vanilla-infused ice coffee recipe is a refreshing way to get a cup of Joe even when the temperatures soar.
60-70 gramscoarse ground dark roast coffee (about 2-2.5 oz)
8 cupsfiltered water
2vanilla beans, split
Instructions
Place the coffee grounds into the bottom of a French press. Place the water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, using a food thermometer bring the water to 210 degrees.
Slowly pour the boiling 210-degree water over the coffee grounds. Let the French press sit for 4 minutes on the counter.
Slowly push the French press plunger down towards the bottom of the press. Let it sit for a moment while the coffee settles.
Pour into a heat safe carafe and place the vanilla beans into the coffee, submerging them completely. Place the container (covered) into the fridge and refrigerate overnight.
