Serves 4

Ingredients

Coarsely ground coffee
1 cup
Cold water
4 cups
Scotch bonnet peppers
2, halved
Ice cubes
as needed
Sweetener (optional)
to taste
Fresh mint (for garnish)
a few sprigs

Instructions

  1. In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarsely ground coffee with the cold water. Stir gently to ensure the coffee is well distributed throughout the water.
  2. Carefully add the halved scotch bonnet peppers to the jar, taking care to avoid touching your face as the oils can be intense.
  3. Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or overnight for best results.
  4. Once the steeping time is complete, strain the cold brew through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter into a clean container to remove the coffee grounds and pepper pieces.
  5. Serve the cold brew over ice cubes in a glass. If desired, sweeten with your preferred sweetener to balance the spice, and stir well.
  6. For an extra touch of flair, garnish with a slice of scotch bonnet or a sprig of fresh mint before serving. Enjoy the fiery yet refreshing experience of this cold brew!

Tips

  • 💡 If you prefer a milder spice level, use only one scotch bonnet pepper or remove the seeds before adding them to the brew.
  • 💡 For a tropical twist, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or a hint of vanilla extract before serving.
