Ingredients
Ingredients
Ground coffee beans
1/2 cup (Freshly ground for optimal flavor.)
Sweetened flaked coconut
2 1/2 cups (Toasted until golden and fragrant.)
Sweetened condensed milk
2/3 cup (To sweeten the cold brew.)
Kosher salt
1 pinch (To enhance the flavors.)
Cold water
4 1/2 cups (Divided into necessary portions.)
Instructions
1
In a large jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the ground coffee and 2 1/4 cups of cold water. Stir the mixture to ensure the coffee grounds are fully saturated. Cover the jar and let it steep at room temperature for at least 12 hours to extract the rich flavors.
2
While the coffee steeps, prepare the coconut ice cubes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the sweetened flaked coconut evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast the coconut in the oven, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
3
In a measuring cup, combine the sweetened condensed milk with 2 1/2 cups of warm water and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
4
Fill two silicone ice cube trays with the coconut mixture, ensuring each cube gets an even distribution of toasted coconut. Transfer the filled trays to the freezer and freeze the cubes until solid, at least 2 hours.
5
Once the coffee has steeped, strain it twice through a fine sieve lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove the grounds. Pour the strained coffee into a large pitcher and add the remaining 2 1/4 cups of cold water to dilute to your desired strength.
6
To serve, fill glasses with the frozen coconut ice cubes and pour the cold brew coffee over them for an icy, flavorful drink.
