Method
<h2>Preparation</h2>
<ol><li>Coarsely grind your coffee beans (think sea salt texture - if you only have pre-ground, that's okay too!)</li><li>Lightly crush cardamom pods with the flat side of a knife - you want them cracked open but not pulverized</li><li>Find a large jar, French press, or even a big bowl for steeping</li></ol>
<h2>Brewing</h2>
<ol><li>Combine ground coffee, crushed cardamom pods, and coconut flakes in your brewing vessel</li><li>Pour room temperature water over the mixture and stir gently to ensure everything is saturated</li><li>Cover and let steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours (I like 16 hours for the sweet spot)</li><li>Give it a gentle stir once halfway through if you remember</li></ol>
<h2>Straining & Serving</h2>
<ol><li>Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth, coffee filter, or even a clean kitchen towel</li><li>Press gently on solids to extract liquid, but don't force it</li><li>Serve over ice with a splash of coconut milk and sweetener if desired</li><li>Store concentrate in fridge for up to one week</li></ol>
