Cold Brew with Orange Peel
Created by Chef Ally
Single-origin coffee steeped overnight with ribbons of fresh orange peel, yielding a smooth, citrus-kissed cold brew that rewards patience and honors the bean.
Cold brew asks almost nothing of you except time. The coffee steeps slowly in cold water, never shocked by heat, releasing its sweetness and depth without the bitterness that quick extraction brings. Adding orange peel to the process is a small act with large rewards.
The oils in citrus skin are volatile and fragrant. During those quiet hours in the refrigerator, they migrate into the coffee, weaving a subtle brightness through every sip. This is not orange-flavored coffee. It is coffee that carries a whisper of citrus, a suggestion of something more.
Start with beans you trust. The difference between commodity coffee and single-origin from a careful roaster is the difference between a tomato in January and one warm from the August garden. Your choices shape what ends up in your glass. A few dollars more at a local roaster keeps that roaster alive and keeps your morning ritual honest.
Every meal is a meaningful choice, and so is every cup.
