Best Basic Iced Coffee Recipe (Flash-Chilling Method)

on 09/01/20

Yields1 ServingDifficultyBeginner

[cooked-sharing]

flash-chilling iced coffee with plants in background
 1 pour over brewer i.e. Chemex, Hario V60, Origami, etc.
 1 food scale or drip coffee scale
 30 g coffee grounds (medium to medium-coarse grind size)
 230 g filtered water
 150 g ice cubes
 2 tbsp milk (if desired)
Instructions
1

Begin to boil your water or until it reaches a temperature between 195 and 205 F. Next, grind your whole beans to a medium-fine grind (should resemble the size of granulated table salt) using a hand grinder or an automatic bean grinder.

2

Insert a paper (or cotton) filter into your pour over vessel. Begin by warming the brewing vessel by wetting the filter with warm/hot water.

3

Place a large mug/cup underneath the brewing vessel to catch the coffee (if using Chemex, no mug required). Add all of the ice cubes to the large cup/mug. If using a Chemex, remove the paper filter in order to add the ice cubes to the bottom of the Chemex, and place the filter back on the top.

4

Place coffee grounds into the filter. Grab kettle (or whatever is housing your hot water) and slowly pour about 80 grams of water evenly over the grounds in a spiral motion. Let rest for 30 seconds.

5

Gently pour more hot water in small circles over your bed of coffee up to 100 grams.

6

Continue to slowly pour the remaining 100 grams of water over the grounds. Finish your last pour around the edge of the filter to wash down any lingering grounds.⁣⁣⁣⁣ Give it swirl to combine.

7

Grab a glass or coffee mug and place more ice cubes inside the cup. Pour the coffee immediately over the ice cubes. Enjoy!

"If you're waiting until you feel completely ready "If you're waiting until you feel completely ready... that moment may never fully come."

I kept coming back to that idea while reporting this story.

I thought I was writing about a parent's first overnight away from their child.

Instead, I found a story about identity, trust, and learning that readiness isn't always something you suddenly feel. It often grows through the small steps you take along the way.

Thank you to @fermatapsychotherapy, @embodied.mama.therapist, and @confidentlymommin for sharing your expertise, and to @parentmap for publishing my first print feature.

If this is a question you've ever wrestled with, I'd love for you to read the full story.

Along with trying the seasonal spritzers, I also had the flatbread and sautéed mushrooms while exploring a wine list featuring both Italian and Washington selections. It's always interesting to see how local restaurants bring those different influences together.

It's located in University Village, making it an easy stop if you're planning to do a little shopping afterward or are visiting the University of Washington.

Along with plenty of cheese, they also had local jams, wines, and other local products to browse. Needless to say, we didn't leave empty handed.

We left with cheese curds. They were very squeaky.

As a parent, taking time for yourself doesn't alwa As a parent, taking time for yourself doesn't always come easily. There is always something that needs to get done, someone who needs you, or another item waiting on the to do list.

I recently had the opportunity to experience the Digital Detox Massage at @salishlodgespa

Designed for people who spend a lot of time on their computers, the massage focused on the neck, back, and hands, all places where I definitely carry stress.

Taking time to slow down and simply relax isn't something I do very often, and it was a good reminder that taking care of ourselves matters too.
