Description:
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT COFFEE BUT A COFFEE CHERRY INFUSION BREW
This is from the farm Finca Argentina. The guys laughed at me when I asked them to do this for me, I just wanted ot see what someone else could do with it. As it turns out they have made a unique type of cascara, much more fuller boddied than what I have tried before and I am a fan.
Cascara is the dried fruit from the coffee 'cherry', the seed from which is the coffee 'bean' as we know it. Normally this is a waste product or at best is used to fertilise the ground by breaking it down. But it can be used to brew a delicious and refreshing caffeinated drink.
So what do you need to brew it ?
A tea Pot or a French press or even a Chemex
Some scales (everyone really should have bought some by now)
Some Cascara
A kettle with water
A cup
Follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Boil the kettle and let the temperature drop to 90oc
Step 2: Weigh out the Cascara, you will need a ratio of 24g of Cascara per litre of water
Step 3: Add the water
Step 4: Wait for 4 minutes
Step 5: Heat the cup or mug that you would like to use
Step 6: Pour and enjoy
Cascara is high in caffeine and if consumed in large amounts will give you a buzz, so you have been warned.
Its like eating cherrys off a tree, but in a liquid form. It fills the mouth. but this one has a dried fruit taste to it, currents and sultanas lovely sweetness.
