Ingredients

60g Ethiopian coffee beans (fruity/floral notes)

600ml filtered water

2 tbsp yuzu juice (or substitute lemon + lime juice)

3 leaves fresh kaffir lime leaves

1 tbsp simple syrup

Tips

Substitution hack : Can't find yuzu? Mix 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice + 1 tbsp fresh lime juice + 1 tsp orange zest. Nitro alternative : No whipped cream dispenser? Blend cold brew mixture with ice for 30 seconds for similar creamy texture. Make ahead : Cold brew concentrate keeps for 1 week refrigerated. Add citrus infusion fresh before serving. Ethiopian coffee selection : Look for beans with tasting notes mentioning 'floral', 'citrus', or 'tea-like' qualities to complement the yuzu and lime.

Method

1

Prepare citrus infusion : Gently muddle kaffir lime leaves in a small bowl. Mix with yuzu juice and simple syrup. Let steep for 30 minutes, then strain.

2

Cold brew setup : Coarsely grind Ethiopian coffee beans. Combine grounds with room temperature filtered water in a large jar or cold brew maker.

3

Steep : Refrigerate for 12 hours, stirring gently after 6 hours.

4

Strain : Filter through fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or use cold brew maker's built-in filter.

5

Combine : Mix cold brew concentrate with prepared citrus infusion. Adjust sweetness to taste.

6

Nitro effect : Pour mixture into whipped cream dispenser with N2O cartridge, or vigorously shake in jar and pour immediately over ice.

7

Serve : Pour into chilled glasses, creating cascading effect.

Barista note: Taste before adjusting — a small change in grind, dose, ratio, or time usually makes the biggest difference.
