hi I'm Rebecca bran and today we're gonna make a cold brew iced coffee I'm gonna change up this recipe bill and turn it into a chocolate vanilla cream but the cream was just froth milk so it's not extra heavy or full of calories making a cold brew coffee takes some time it's gonna take about 12 hours to make this you could leave it in as long as 20 so making this a day ahead of time is the way to go my French press is 34 ounces and the professional recipe with that size is 8 tablespoons of coffee medium grain so I put that aside and that comes all the way up to 1/2 cup good to know the conversion factor I like my coffee extra rich so this is an espresso blend so I'm putting it all the way down to the bottom of my French press and I shake it level I'm adding 32 ounces of filtered water to that so bring that water so the grounds are almost to the top look at that coffee ground coffee has a whole lot of air to it so it's going to capture that air and float to the top I want those coffee greens to have water all around them so they can brew so I am stirring up those coffee grains so we're gonna set the plunger on top but don't plunge it because you want those coffee grains to soak in all the water so just leave it like that because you with the plunger up and the lid squarely on top so all those greens mix together and become friends because that little party insight is the chemical reaction of the coffee grains enjoying the water and dissipating all their flavor let them have their time I'm gonna put it in the fridge and that party's gonna go on for at least 12 hours I'm gonna get the one I put in yesterday this one's been in there 20 hours it's the magic of video now it's time for the plunge so very slowly we're gonna push this down can you see that it needs to take 30 seconds from the top to the bottom the screen in this French press is so high-quality there's actually five parts to it you can unscrew it and take it apart for easy cleaning the glass is extra strong it is shatterproof fine I wouldn't want to drop it on any hard kitchen floors it still can break and the base is a beautiful cutout design in a very high quality steel and the bigger fits and snug and the handle is a beautiful design that has a very comfortable feel when you're pouring your beverage so for my chocolate vanilla cream recipe and pouring one-half cup of milk into a glass I'm adding 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract to the milk 1 teaspoon of unsweetened baking chocolate that's going right on in that's 2% milk that doesn't have a lot of calories in it and I'm adding one full teaspoon of a natural sugar stir that up and I'm using a little milk frother to profit that's what's gonna make it super creamy this whole drink only has about 90 calories that's the low fat milk in the sugar the rest is negligible this video is sponsored by cardinal coffee and kitchens French press and I'm so glad they did because I love it click the link below to get yours and tell me what is your favorite coffee recipe for an iced coffee on a hot summer day time to get the ice so fill up your glass for the top it smells great already oh yeah and for my trick I pour a little milk in my cup and froth it good give it a stir and now put that froth on top oh yeah that looks great I can give it a sprinkle of the chocolate now it's time to try my chocolate vanilla creme French pressed cold brewed coffee mm-hmm it is so creamy and delicious and so low in calories and naturally sweet it lacks a bitterness of coffee that's brewed I'm Rebecca brand subscribe to my channel let's keep making great things like a chocolate cream ice coffee on a hot summer day you
