Equipment
- French press (or cold brew maker, Chemex, or large glass jar or bowl)
- Paper or metal coffee filter (or cheesecloth)
- Glass pitcher for serving
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup organic dark roast coffee or cold brew grounds
- 2 litres maple water (or 2 1L cartons)
- 5-8 tbsp dried organic rose petals (culinary grade)
- 1 can organic condensed milk (sub 1/2 cup non-homogenized whipping cream for a sugar-free option, or condensed coconut milk if vegan)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 handful ice cubes
- 1 dash rose water (optional)
Instructions
- Add the maple water to the coffee grounds and mix well. Stir gently and steep in the fridge for 12-18 hours.
- If using a French press, push down the plunger to strain the grounds. If not using a French press or brewer, use cheesecloth or a coffee filter to strain your grounds. If using cheesecloth, strain 2-3 times to remove any coffee silt or residue.
- Transfer cold-brewed coffee to large glass pitcher. Add vanilla extract and rose water, if desired.
- Add the condensed milk to taste and stir gently. 1-2 tablespoons of condensed milk to every 8 ounce cup of coffee should suffice. Add slowly and taste test along the way.
- Add ice directly to pitcher or in glasses (or both). Garnish each glass with a sprinkling of rose petals before serving.
Notes
If you’re limiting your sugar intake, you can also substitute organic non-homogenized whipping cream for the condensed milk as the maple water will add a light sweetness. And if you're vegan, you can substitute condensed coconut milk.
During the cold weather, this recipe can also be prepared hot. Just pour boiled maple water over medium-fine coffee grounds. Mix in condensed milk or frothed cream, add vanilla extract and garnish with rose petals.
