A Healthy Iced Coffee Recipe

Thanks for checking out this week’s post. If you’re new here I write articles every Wednesday so stay up to date by joining my weekly newsletter!

Anyway today I wanted to share a healthy iced coffee recipe with you. This is a recipe that I use almost every morning and it’s extremely simple to make so you should be able to replicate it easily. 

I should have titled this post, “How to Make French Press Coffee” because you’re going to need a french press for the recipe. I know you’re probably thinking I’m some self-righteous coffee critic who thinks I’m superior because I own a french press. 

The truth is I just enjoy the manual process of making coffee and It’s something that I grew up watching my dad do, so it hits pretty close to home. 

The French press that I use is made by Bodum and it works perfectly. After checking Amazon I realized that the model I have is discontinued, however, I’ll link an updated equivalent towards the end of this post. 

Back to the recipe. (Click Below if you would rather watch a video on the recipe)

The first step is to take 5 tablespoons of ground coffee and put it in your french press. I prefer medium roast more often than not. 

Next, take a pot or tea kettle and fill it up with enough water to fill your French press.

Wait for it to boil and once it’s done, you’re going to want to pour the boiling water into your French press. 

Wait 5 minutes and finally press your coffee. 

At this point, your coffee is done but what I like to do is place my coffee in my fridge overnight so I can drink it in the morning. 

I love iced coffee so each morning I’ll pour a cup with a little bit of almond milk and 2 ice cubes. This is one of a few healthy ways to sweeten coffee. 

For breakfast, I normally pair my iced coffee with toast, an egg and a piece of fruit which makes for a light morning meal.

And that wraps up today’s post. This was meant to be a really quick post showing you another way as to how to make coffee.
