- 2 fresh lemongrass stalks, tough outer layers removed and stalks bruised
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust for desired sweetness)
- Ice cubes, for serving
- Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the coarsely ground coffee and cold water in a large pitcher or jar.
- Stir the mixture gently with a long spoon to ensure all grounds are fully saturated.
- Cover the pitcher tightly and refrigerate for 16 hours to extract flavors slowly and avoid bitterness.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter over a clean bowl.
- Slowly pour the cold brew mixture through the filter to remove all coffee grounds.
- Discard the filtered grounds and set the clear cold brew concentrate aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the diced mango, bruised lemongrass stalks, sugar, and 1/2 cup water.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, mashing the mango gently with a spoon to release its juices.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mango-lemongrass syrup cool to room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract all liquid.
- Discard the mango and lemongrass pulp left in the sieve.
- Combine the strained mango-lemongrass syrup with the cold brew concentrate in a pitcher.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until fully incorporated.
- Fill tall glasses with ice cubes to the brim.
- Pour the mango lemongrass cold brew over the ice in each glass.
- Garnish each serving with a fresh mint sprig if desired.
