Ingredients
Yield: 1 servings
- 1 cup freshly-brewed strong coffee
- 12 large fresh mint leaves, plus extra sprig for garnish
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (or your desired sweetener)
- 1 cup ice
- splash of cream (or half and half, milk, coconut milk, etc.)
Method
Brew the coffee however you prefer (pour-over, French press, Aeropress, traditional drip, any method will work).
Then while the coffee is brewing, combine the mint and sweetener in a cocktail shaker (or mason jar). Take a muddler (or the end of a thick wooden spoon) to gently muddle the mint -- thoroughly enough so that those lively minty oils get released, but also not so much that you break it up into a hundred tiny pieces that'll get stuck in your straw. ;)
Fill the shaker with ice. Then pour the hot coffee over the ice, and add a splash of cream if desired.
Lid the shaker, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until completely chilled.
Move the iced coffee to your serving glass (if using a separate glass). Then add a few extra ice cubes if needed, finish with a sprig of mint, and serve cold!
