🌿 Homemade Iced Coffee in 5 Minutes


🌿 Natural Lifestyle Letters

Reader,

making iced coffee from scratch is crazy simple. Here is what you basically need for a lightly seasoned and sweetened iced coffee made with a French press for two:

  • 2 tbsp coffee grounds (15 grams)
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional but rounds the flavour nicely)
  • 1/2tsp cardamom or cinnamon (optional)
  • 150 ml water (130 grams)

Heat the water, brew the strong coffee with seasoning and sweeteners in a French press.

Let it steep 3 to 5 minutes.

Then to make it icy and sweet:

  • 1 tsp dark syrup (optional)
  • 80 g ice cubes + some for serving
  • 100 ml almond milk (or other milk or water)

Fill the glasses with ice cubes.

Press the plunger of the French press and pour the filtered coffee into glasses.

Top with cold milk of your choice or cold water if you prefer sweeten with some dark syrup or add some homemade blueberry coffee syrup (tastes amazing with a hint of cardamom!).

Add more ice and enjoy!

Every day makes a difference β™‘

Cup of Ivan Chai tea with the homemade fermented fireweed loose-leaf tea in a jar.

🌿 Natural Lifestyle Letters Reader, do you ever wish you could enjoy black tea normally, without checking what time of day it is because it has caffeine in it? I stumbled upon Ivan Chai when I was studying more about teas and herbs (you can find my reading suggestions here). Ivan chai is an infusion made of fireweed leaves (also known as willowherb) that have been turned black with the natural process of oxidizing and fermenting. After the process, the flavour is similar to black tea, and...

🌿 Natural Lifestyle Letters Hi Reader, Many edible flowers can be enjoyed far beyond the garden. You can gently pick a few fragrant petals, dry them, and save a little piece of summer for the months ahead. When collecting flowers for tea, always make sure they are edible and haven't been treated with pesticides. Harvest them on a dry, sunny morning after the dew has disappeared, then spread the petals out on a tray or sieve in a well-ventilated place until they are completely dry. At our...
