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