Japanese Iced Coffee Recipe

Ingredients:

• Freshly ground coffee beans
• Filtered water
• Ice cubes

Equipment:

• Coffee maker (such as pour-over or drip)
• Coffee filter
• Carafe or pitcher
• Tall glass

Instructions:

1. Start by grinding your coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency, similar to sand.
2. Place a coffee filter in your pour-over or drip coffee maker and set it up over a carafe or pitcher.
3. Add the ground coffee into the filter, leveling it out evenly.
4. Bring filtered water to a boil and let it cool for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
5. Slowly pour the hot water over the ground coffee, starting from the center and spiraling outwards in a circular motion.
6. Allow the coffee to drip through the filter into the carafe or pitcher below.
7. Once all the water has passed through the coffee grounds, remove the filter and discard.
8. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
9. Pour the freshly brewed hot coffee over the ice cubes, allowing it to chill and melt the ice.
10. Stir gently to ensure the coffee is well-chilled and evenly distributed over the ice cubes.
