Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee (100 g)
  • 1 ½ cups cold water (355 mL)
  • 2 to 3 cups sparkling water (472 mL to 708 mL)
  • To serve: Ice, cream, simple syrup, squeeze of lemon

Instruction

  • Steep: In a large pitcher or bowl, combine ground coffee and water. Cover and let sit in fridge for 12 to 24 hours.
  • Strain: Strain the coffee concentrate through a towel-lined mesh sieve (or a French press). Measure your coffee concentrate and add water as needed to reach 1 cup, drizzling the water through the grinds to get as much coffee as possible.
  • Flavor (optional): This drink is best with simple syrup and lemon to counteract the bitterness of the carbonation. To make simple syrup, combine 1 part sugar and 1 part water, stirring until dissolved. Add simply syrup and a squeeze of fresh lemon to your serving glass.
  • Fizz: Add ice to the glass, then fill it ⅓ full with coffee concentrate. Top it off with carbonated water, optionally adding a splash of cream.
