Best Basic Iced Coffee Recipe (Flash-Chilling Method)

Yields1 ServingPrep Time10 mins

flash-chilling iced coffee with plants in background

 1 pour over brewer i.e. Chemex, Hario V60, Origami, etc.
 1 food scale or drip coffee scale
 30 g coffee grounds (medium to medium-coarse grind size)
 230 g filtered water
 150 g ice cubes
 2 tbsp milk (if desired)
Instructions
1

Begin to boil your water or until it reaches a temperature between 195 and 205 F. Next, grind your whole beans to a medium-fine grind (should resemble the size of granulated table salt) using a hand grinder or an automatic bean grinder.

2

Insert a paper (or cotton) filter into your pour over vessel. Begin by warming the brewing vessel by wetting the filter with warm/hot water.

3

Place a large mug/cup underneath the brewing vessel to catch the coffee (if using Chemex, no mug required). Add all of the ice cubes to the large cup/mug. If using a Chemex, remove the paper filter in order to add the ice cubes to the bottom of the Chemex, and place the filter back on the top.

4

Place coffee grounds into the filter. Grab kettle (or whatever is housing your hot water) and slowly pour about 80 grams of water evenly over the grounds in a spiral motion. Let rest for 30 seconds.

5

Gently pour more hot water in small circles over your bed of coffee up to 100 grams.

6

Continue to slowly pour the remaining 100 grams of water over the grounds. Finish your last pour around the edge of the filter to wash down any lingering grounds.⁣⁣⁣⁣ Give it swirl to combine.

7

Grab a glass or coffee mug and place more ice cubes inside the cup. Pour the coffee immediately over the ice cubes. Enjoy!
