Ingredients

  • 150 g coffee beans, coarsely ground
  • 500 ml cold water
  • 500 ml full fat milk
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Vanilla ice cream to finish off if you fancy

Simple Sugar Syrup

Instructions

The Night Before

  • Place your ground coffee in a French press or in a jug.
    150 g coffee beans, coarsely ground
  • Top with the cold water, stir, cover with cling film and leave in the fridge overnight. Don’t use the plunger at this point.
    500 ml cold water

Simple Sugar Syrup

  • Place the water and sugar into a small pan and bring to a boil.
    200 g white sugar, 125 ml water
  • Simmer for 10 minutes on the lowest heat to allow the flavours to develop and the syrup to thicken.
  • Leave to cool, no need to place in the fridge.

The Next Day, to serve

  • Plunge your French press as you would usually, or strain through a fine mesh strainer.
  • Divide equally amongst 4 tall glasses.
  • Top with cold milk.
    500 ml full fat milk
  • Add sugar syrup, if needed, and stir to mix. I love it without sugar.
  • Either add ice cubes or top with ice cream.
    Ice cubes as needed, Vanilla ice cream to finish off

Notes

Nutritional information does not include sugar syrup, or ice cream, as they are both optional, and added to taste. I don't add sugar to my iced coffee.
