Notes

Uses a finer grind and higher dose than standard French press to create a concentrate that withstands ice dilution. The medium grind is intentional for higher extraction in the reduced water volume. Place 200g of ice in a large glass before starting. After pressing, pour the hot concentrate directly over ice for instant flash-chilling that preserves aromatics.
