Amerilight Iced Almond Citrus Cold Brew
Difficulty: 2/5 (Easy)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup AMERILIGHT Light Roast coffee (coarsely ground for cold brew)
- 4 cups cold, filtered water
- Ice cubes
- 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened or vanilla)
- Optional: 1-2 tsp honey or simple syrup (for sweetness)
- Garnish: A slice of orange or lemon peel for an extra citrus twist
Equipment:
- Cold brew coffee maker or large mason jar with a fine-mesh strainer
- Tall glass
Instructions:
Prepare the Cold Brew
Start by coarsely grinding your AMERILIGHT coffee beans. Combine 1 cup of ground coffee with 4 cups of cold, filtered water in your cold brew maker or mason jar. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated. Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you prefer your coffee.
Strain the Coffee
After brewing, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or cold brew filter to remove the grounds. You’ll be left with a smooth, concentrated cold brew.
Serve
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cold brew concentrate over the ice until the glass is about three-quarters full. If you prefer your coffee a bit sweeter, add 1-2 tsp of honey or simple syrup at this stage and stir until dissolved.
Add Almond Milk
Gently pour the almond milk over the coffee for a rich, creamy texture. The almond milk enhances the natural almond notes in AMERILIGHT, while the citrus flavors will still shine through.
Garnish & Enjoy
For an extra pop of flavor, garnish with a slice of orange or a lemon peel to enhance the bright citrus notes. Give it a quick stir, sip, and enjoy the refreshing, nutty, and fruity layers of your homemade AMERILIGHT Iced Almond Citrus Cold Brew.
This cold brew recipe is simple to make, but it packs a complex, vibrant flavor that will keep you coming back for more! Perfect for hot days when you need a refreshing boost!
