  PREP/PREPARE

  For this dish, you will need a single-serving French coffee press. If, however, you do not own one, I have a suggestion… place the ingredients into a heatproof bowl. When it is ready, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer, fitted with a coffee strainer, or double-folded cheesecloth. As a matter of fact, you could use this method to make a batch of these yummy drinks. Just remember that the ingredient amounts are based on 12 ounces of water.
