One of my favorite pleasures in this world is nitro cold brew coffee. I fell in love with it in the Strip District several years ago. “We Come from France” is my all time favorite flavor. You can get this beautiful concoction at Allegheny Coffee. The blend is vanilla & creme brûlée 😍. The texture is so creamy, smooth, & milky without any cream added to it. Then on top of all that it is infused with nitrogen. So you can get a keg full of it (and I have!). This addiction can be an expensive habit.
Or my boyfriend Chad can brew you up our blend of the perfect marriage of Peruvian Coffee, which is sweet with chocolate, & nutty smooth accents. We add pure vanilla extract from penzeys and creme brûlée extract to the brew to mimic the coffee house blend. I now prefer our blend compared to Allegheny Coffee’s brew. Bonus we make it decaf due to my desire to lessen my caffeine intake. I am already highly strung. No need for additional caffeine.
Ingredients:
60 grams of high quality ground coffee
4 cups of filtered water
32 ounce size mason jar
Pure vanilla extract taste
Creme brûlée extract to taste
Directions:
1. Place the ground coffee in a large mason jar. Add 4 cups of water.
2. Let the coffee rest on the counter top at room temperature for 12 hours.
3. After the time has elapsed. Strain the coffee through a fine strainer and/or use a coffee filter.
4. Discard the coffee grounds (our plants love the coffee grounds especially the Swedish Ivy). Using a funnel, pour the coffee back into a clean mason jar. Make sure to add additional water back to the strained coffee to equal 4 cups of total liquid. Some of the liquid is lost due to the absorption of the grounds.
5. Place the coffee into a stainless steel whipper add a few drops of vanilla and creme brûlée extract. Place the lid on the whipper and add nitrogen cartridges. Twist to let the gas release, lock, and shake it like a Polaroid picture.
6. For optimal results let the coffee chill for a few hours before adding the nitrogen cartridge.
7. Wait for pure magic to transpire as you pour your first cup. 😋
