Vanilla French Press Coffee
Vanilla French Press Coffee combines coarsely ground coffee beans brewed in a French press with freshly boiled water and vanilla extract for a subtly flavored coffee. The method allows the coffee grounds to steep fully, extracting rich flavors and resulting in a smooth, aromatic cup with gentle vanilla notes. This recipe offers an easy way to add flavor without altering brewing time.
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
Equipment Required:
- French Press
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil, and then let it sit for 1 minute off-heat.
- Add coffee grounds to French press, add vanilla extract, and then hot water. Add French press lid, but don't lower the plunger. Let sit 4 minutes. Lower plunger.
- 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.
