Ingredients
• 18-20 grams of coarsely ground Vasthare Arabica coffee
• Freshly filtered water (approx. 240 ml)
• Ice cubes
• Optional: milk, cream, or sweetener to taste
Method
To prepare, start by brewing a strong coffee concentrate. Use a drip coffee maker or a French press to extract the coarsely ground Vasthare Arabica coffee with 240 ml of hot water. Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes, then strain it if necessary to remove the grounds. For a more intense flavor, you may want to double the coffee-to-water ratio.
Once brewed, let the coffee concentrate cool to room temperature. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled coffee over the ice, allowing the cubes to gently dilute the brew. For added indulgence, you can stir in a splash of milk or cream, and sweeten to taste if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the invigorating contrast of rich coffee against the crisp ice.
