Cold Brewed Lemonade
Ingredients for Lemonade:
-
- 1-2 oz lemon juice
- 20-30 g simple syrup
- 4-5 oz water
- 4-5 oz cold brew
- Ice
Ingredients for Simple Syrup (20 – 30 g):
-
- 100 g demerara sugar
- 110 g hot water
Ingredients for Cold Brew:
-
- AeroPress with 2 filters (at least one should be paper)
- 45 grams of coffee, ground medium-fine
- 300 grams of water
- 200 grams of ice
- a water bottle (Dasani works well)
- a sewing needle
- a sharp blade
- a mason jar
Instructions for Cold Brewed Lemonade:
-
- Combine the lemon juice, simple syrup, and water in your cup.
- Now, every lemon is going to be a bit different, so we recommend alternating the syrup and water and tasting as you go.
- You want a lemonade that’s slightly tart and not too sweet, as the cold brew you add later will be slightly bitter and sweet on its own.
- Once you’ve got a lemonade flavor that you’re happy with, add ice to the cup and top up with cold brew.
- Give the drink a stir, and you’re ready to kick back and sip happy!
Instructions for Simple Syrup:
-
- Mix until dissolved.
- Chill.
Instructions for Cold Brew:
-
- Empty water bottle and cut off bottom with sharp blade.
- Remove bottle’s cap and puncture with sewing needle, creating the smallest hole possible.
- Replace cap and test flow by filling with water and watching drip rate, aiming for about 40 drops per minute. Alter hole size as necessary.
- Rinse filter and assemble AeroPress, filling with coffee.
- Moisten grounds with
warmcool water and mix gently, subtracting water used from total water volume. - Level coffee bed with finger.
- Trim paper filter to fit inside of AeroPress tube and place atop coffee bed, pressing softly to level.
