Looking to take your iced coffee or cold-press to the next level?
Look no further! Today I’m sharing my all time secret ingredient to my daily summertime cold press. You guys, this simple addition takes your morning coffee from deese mcgeese to sweet Lord almighty I think I’ve reached heaven in a cup. Something we’re all striving to experience each morning, right?! Me too.
Not only is this the most delish addition, but it is the absolute easiest. Okay, okay so there’s a teensy bit of prep involved in this little miracle addition to your morning cup, but trust me when I say this is easy peasey. In fact I don’t think it could get any more simple than this.
So let’s break it down – my secret ingredient to a killer iced coffee is … organic turbinado simple syrup. OH SNAP! Did you expect it? If you’re reading this and this actually crossed your mind, then we need to become best friends this instant because we’re on the same wave length.
And let me please do the honors of stating that this is NOT your typical simple syrup. Although the process is the same, the flavors are completely different. With organic turbinado sugar, or sugar in the raw as it’s commonly referred to, it still maintains it’s yummy molasses flavoring as the molasses is not fully removed as it is in white sugar. Trust me when I say that this aspect gives this simple syrup a certain je ne sais quoi – we’ve got a real killer on our hands people!
So let’s get to it! Everyone can make this easy recipe and it stores amazingly. Simply add the cooled simple syrup into any glass container of your choosing and store up to 1 month {if it actually lasts} in the refrigerator! How easy is that?!
Organic Turbinado Simple Syrup
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic turbinado sugar
- 1 cup water
- Seeds from 1 vanilla bean {halved and scraped into the sugar + water mixture} – optional*
Steps:
- Mix the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add flavoring {if desired} to the simple syrup. Steep until the mixture is cooled to room temperature.
- Place your Organic Turbinado Simple Syrup into the designated glass jar and store in the refrigerator until next coffee // cold-press fix.
*Note: This is completely optional for added flavoring. Feel free to omit all together and it’s still delicious!
What’s your secret ingredient to a killer cup ‘o coffee // tea?!
