Cold brew coffee
Anyone tried doing it? Here's how: http://www.vinspireuk.com/2015/03/di...ple-syrup.html Quote:
How To Make Cold Brew Coffee at Home And an optional extraFirstly, find a decent coffee! I use Lulu Coffee at home and in my pubs; it's batch-roasted in Hertfordshire and doesn't give me that horrible coffee-drunk buzz that so many people complain about. Its balanced, fresh and earthy! Place around 120g of ground espresso coffee in a mixing bowl or jug and cover with 1 litre of cold, preferably filtered water. Stir it all in and leave to sit for 15 minutes. There should be a foamy crust on top of the coffee. Stir again, mixing the coffee with the water further. Cover with a clean, damp cloth or cling film and leave on the kitchen top for 24 hours. After 24 hours, strain the coffee mixture twice through coffee filter paper, or some muslin. I like a strong coffee, so I dilute with a 1:1 coffee:water ratio, but you can drop down to 2:3 coffee to water. Alternatively, you could just pick up a bottle by producers like Sandows who have done all the hard work for you At this stage, a lot of baristas recommend adding a pinch of sea salt to bring out loads of flavour; I haven't tried this yet, but some people swear by it.

Cold Brew Coffee Cocktail with Maple Syrup and Coconut Cream Seems like a nice summery drink. I might try it sometime Open your can of coconut cream and pop it in a container to mix. Add in maple syrup to taste - it's best when it's sweetish, but not coma-inducing. Add a touch of vanilla extract. Stir until all combined, and into the fridge it goes to cool. Grab a glass with loads of ice, pour over a portion of your cold-brew coffee and then drop in a generous amount of your sweetened coconut cream (depending on how creamy and sweet you want your cocktail to be). Of course, it would be uncouth of me to not offer a boozy alternative, so feel free to 'spill' a generous glug of good rum conveniently into the glass. Damn that pesky Diplomatico Reserva. It is one hell of a Rum though.

Nah, I do not think that will appeal to me.
