Vanilla French Press Coffee
Description
The coffee grounds are placed into a French press, then hot water that's been briefly cooled from boiling is added along with vanilla extract. Allowing it to steep for four minutes extracts the coffee's natural flavor. Plunging the press separates the grounds from the brewed coffee.
Adding milk, creamer, or milk substitutes is optional depending on personal taste. Serving immediately preserves the coffee’s aroma and prevents bitterness that can occur if coffee sits with grounds too long. Pouring brewed coffee into a separate container or thermal carafe is recommended if not serving at once.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coffee bean coarsely ground, 4 tablespoons
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- milk or creamer or milk substitute, to serve, optional

- Serve coffee immediately, with milk if desired. If not serving coffee immediately, pour coffee into a separate container or thermal carafe to prevent it from getting bitter while sitting with the grounds.
