Orange Cold Brew Coffee Spritz

Step 2

Combine the Redpath® Demerara Style Sugar, water, and strips of orange zest into a medium, heavy-bottomed pot and place onto medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the orange juice. Simmer for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Turn off heat, cover, and allow mixture to infuse and cool to room temperature 15 minutes. Place cooled syrup into the fridge to chill completely.

Step 5

Place the coarsely ground coffee into a large bowl (preferably with a spout) or container. Gradually add the cold, filtered water and slowly stir to ensure all grinds are moistened. Cover and place into the fridge to steep for at least 12 hours and up to 15 hours.

Step 6

Strain the orange simple syrup through a fine-meshed sieve placed over a measuring cup. Discard solids.

Step 7

Line the same fine-meshed sieve with a coffee filter or double layer of cheesecloth and place over a pitcher or large measuring cup.

Step 8

Pour the cold brew coffee concentrate over the lined sieve. Allow the coffee to slowly drip through the sieve. Try not to stir the coffee while pouring as this will create a muddy cold brew coffee. Discard solids.

Step 9

Stir or whisk in 1 cup (250 ml) of the orange simple syrup into the cold brew concentrate.

Step 10

Fill tall glasses (such as a pint glass) with ice.

Step 11

Pour ½ cup (125 ml) of the cold brew coffee mixture into each glass. Top with club soda (⅓ cup / 83 ml to ½ cup / 125 ml).

Step 12

Garnish with orange slices if desired.
