This recipe of immersion coffee with roses is a version of Foom Café of Shanghai, one of the most modern coffee shops of this city. We like to prepare coffee in the Asian style, in which the tendency to mix coffee with other herbal infusions stands out. Another example of this Asian custom is the typical Hong Kong Yung Yeung coffee that we recently published in the coffee section of this blog.

Immersion coffee with roses recipe:

As main ingredients I’ve used a specialty coffee and the fragrant roses from my garden. The quality of the ingredients enhances the result until it becomes a real delicatessen. Another secret for a wow result is to let the infusion rest and drink it cold. In that resting time, the rose flavor will intensify and stand out more.

In case you don’t have premium ingredients at hand, you can make it perfectly well with a more ordinary coffee and dehydrated rose petals. The petals can be obtained in any herbalist’s shop.

Immersion Coffee or French Press method

In this recipe we will apply the immersion coffee extraction method, also known as French press. You already know that thanks to the versatility of CBE, with a single filter we can brew coffee in several ways: immersion, cold brew and whole bean coffee emulsions (also known as CBE).

For this recipe we propose to use the immersion method used in Shanghai, but you can also make coffee and roses extraction by any other brewing method.

Ingredients:

• 500ml of hot water at 90°C.
• One large and fragrant rose.
• 20g of coarse ground coffee.
• A little ice to serve the coffee.

Preparation:

Preparation time: 5 minutes

1. Place the coarse ground coffee and the rose petals inside the CBE filter with the 0.1 mm disc.
2. Add water at 90ºC while blooming, i.e. just wet the ingredients carefully and leave for 30 seconds until the bubbles run out.
3. Add the rest of the water and let it infuse for 5 minutes to better extract the rose arome.
4. Remove the filter and leave the infusion to cool and intensify the flavors.
5. Serve over ice as an iced coffee.
