How do you take your coffee? I like mine iced (yes, even in the winter months!) with flavored syrup and a little half-and-half! I make cold-pressed coffee on Sunday so it's ready for me all week long. What is cold-press coffee you ask? Cold-press coffee is a way of making more concentrated coffee to keep in your fridge. It's super easy to make and all you need is ground coffee and water. The instructions are posted below. This syrup is perfect for your morning coffee, however you prefer to drink it. It has just enough spice to make you feel cozy on these cool fall mornings.
