• Use a 1:8 ratio for a smooth, sippable concentrate
• Lightly crushing spices releases oils without overpowering the delicate Geisha flavors
• If Geisha beans aren't available, substitute with Ethiopian or Panamanian single-origin
• Strain twice for the cleanest cup - first through mesh, then through paper filter
• Store concentrate in refrigerator for up to 5 days
