How To Make Iced Coffee - French Press Method

Step 1

Grind the coffee beans. Grind 1/3 cup of coffee beans until they are coarse enough to be filtered by the French press, yet fine enough to infuse well. On my burr grinder, I grind right in between middle and fine.

Step 2

Combine the ground coffee and water in the French press. Pour the ground coffee into a French press and top with 1 1/2 cups of water.

Step 3

Stir to incorporate. Gently stir the coffee with the water until well-blended.

Step 4

Put on French press lid. Make sure the plunger is in the up position.

Step 5

Steep the coffee overnight in the fridge. Leave the plunger in the up position so the grounds infuse the water overnight.

Step 6

Plunge to separate the coffee from the grounds. The next morning, plunge the French press to separate the coffee from the grounds.

Step 7

Make your iced coffee. Fill a glass with ice cubes and fill partway with milk. Fill the rest of the glass with iced coffee. Stir to combine and enjoy!
