New Orleans-Style Iced Coffee
Sweet, creamy, and always delicious
Initially conceived as an alternative to the erratically composed and often disappointing iced latte, our New Orleans-style Iced Coffee is cold-brewed for 12 hours with roasted chicory and sweetened with organic cane sugar. The end result is a potent concentrate that we cut with organic whole milk or cream (or dairy alternative). It's sweet, creamy, and consistently delicious.

BREW TIME

Step One
Grind 340 g (12 oz) of whole bean coffee on a coarse setting.
Coffee grounds should be gritty and the particles should be easy to distinguish from one another.
Step Two
Add the coffee and 1 oz / 28 g of roasted chicory to the stockpot.
Step Three
Pour 2 qt (2 L) of filtered water into the stockpot.
Stir with a wooden spoon until the grounds are fully saturated.
Step Four
Cover the stockpot, and steep the coffee and chicory for 12 hours at room temperature.
Step Five
After 12 hours, pour the concentrate through a fine-meshed sieve into the jar.
Step Six
Add simple syrup
Add 4 tablespoons / 68 g of simple syrup (made from 3 tablespoons each of sugar and water heated until dissolved) to the coffee concentrate. Stir until syrup is incorporated.
Alternatively: Add just enough simple syrup to each serving to sweeten.
Step Seven
Serve over ice
Pouring equal amounts of sweetened coffee concentrate and milk or cream (or dairy alternative) into a glass.
Refrigerate any remaining concentrate. Unsweetened, NOLA lasts 7 days. Sweetened, it’s best consumed within 2 days, and with milk, we recommend drinking up—NOLA’s best when made to order.
