This coffee is indeed magical! So so good on a warm day poured over ice with milk (also works with non dairy milks, i.e. almond, etc...). Ive taken off one star simply because it is super granular and the straining is time consuming. I use a mesh strainer AND cheese cloth and still have some grounds in the glass. But never mind - its worth it! (I make a double batch).

ps I use 2 tablespoons of sugar instead of 3. It is PLENTY sweet with 2.

This is a good start and decent on its own, but adding orange zest (like the cafe de olla it's heavily inspired by) sends it over the top. I haven't yet found the right balance of fennel and almond extract for the scandi version but it was also worthwhile. Thanks!

This stuff is truly magical, I look forward to it everyday now! Such a treat. Might cut the sugar to 2 Tbsp. next time, just a little too sweet for me.

So, cold brew with brown sugar. Ha! I will have to try this on a day when I feel like a sweet iced treat.

There's nothing quite like settling down with a hot cup of coffee to watch a cricket match. The intensity of the game combined with the relaxing atmosphere of enjoying a drink make for a perfect combination. Whether it's a test match or a Twenty20 game, the excitement of watching top-level cricket is unbeatable. And when you add a delicious cup of coffee into the mix, it's hard to beat the experience. So if you're a fan of both cricket and coffee, make sure to carve out some time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the two together.

SO GOOD, even without the sugar and with decaf coffee instead of regular. Decaf coffee is notoriously horrible and this preparation is the only way that I've found to enjoy it!

Yep, perfection. This drink definitely has roots from a lot of places, but tastes like a delicious (overpriced) concoction from your local cafe that you can get for cheaper & from the convenience of your fridge.

This is literally Cafe de Olla, a Mexican drink. Give credit where it's due.

And I wonder if you added frozen cube of milk/frozen cubes of coffee to it vs. regular water ice cubes? I do that for my regular iced coffee I make at home...

This is delicious. I used half the amount of cinnamon and added a half a teaspoon of pure vanilla. So good.

Arrrgh!! Saw the video on Facebook, and now am a prisoner of magical coffee!! It is my every day go-to as soon as I get home from my morning sweat-slog (central Florida). In the interest of better diet and my waistline, have decreased the sugar to 2 Tbsp...didn’t change the luxurious taste one bit.

Saw the video for this on IG and made it that night. It's so easy and I just adjusted the brown sugar to taste. I use a french press and definitely need to give it a good stir in the morning. Would definitely recommend!

For anyone who cares (I like measuring things by weight) another comment said 2/3 cup of coarse ground coffee was 22 grams, it’s more like 70 grams based on my measure 🤷🏻♂️

This serves 2-4 people and consist of 2/3 cups ground coffee, 3 T packed dark brown sugar, 32 oz. of filtered water , 1 tsp. Saigon Cinnamon, plus added milk, and the “concern” about the 3 T (1/4 cup) dark brown sugar, well I don’t get it, and I don’t want too.
Well any WHO, this coffee beverage is so delicious and satisfying. The caramel undertones from the dark brown sugar is the “MAGIC” component... otherwise it’s just cinnamon coffee. ;)

Yes, this is MAGICAL and so simple! I used only one tablespoon of brown sugar and it was delightful. The cinnamon gives it wonderful depth and the sweetness makes me smile.

For all the anal coffee fiends out there -- and you know who you are -- 2/3 cup coarsely ground coffee = 22 grams, by my measure.

This easily replaced my coffee house vanilla sweet cream cold brew. The flavor is just fantastic! I didn’t have dark brown sugar so used raw sugar crystals and it’s great!

I recently tried Coffee Crisp Chocolate Bars Coffee Crisp Chocolate Bars and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The combination of the coffee-flavored crisp and rich chocolate was really delicious. The crunchy texture of the crisp was a great contrast to the smoothness of the chocolate. The bar itself was also surprisingly light and airy, making it a great snack for any time of day. I would definitely recommend giving these bars a try - they are definitely worth it!

All the delicious flavor of coffee with no bitterness - perfect for waking up to on a hot summer day! I used Rice Syrup (because I had no dark brown sugar) and it was delish!

I’ve backed off on the cinnamon (using ¼ tsp.) and add 2 tsp. vanilla extract. I also use the French press for the first two steps.

I love this recipe. I had tried the cold brew method a few times before this and was never happy with the result. I was surprised I liked this because I do not add sugar to my coffee or espresso, milk yes, sugar no. Anyway I wanted to let you all know about a variation I have tried on this recipe. Instead of milk or cream try club soda. To me it tastes a lot like a Guinness. I tried the club soda because of an earlier recipe posted here at Food 52 maybe using tonic water.

In the refrigerator now! I opted for cocoa powder instead of cinnamon because I have never been a huge fan of the intense Mexican coffee taste

Even better if you freeze some coffee in ice cube trays and use them instead of ice. Keeps the flavor from watering down. Also a pinch of cardamom.

Glad you all "discovered" the centuries old recipe for traditional Mexican coffee.
Pascal D.
June 10, 2015
In Mexico, traditional coffee as grand ma would prep it ,would be made by boiling water in a clay pot, once water was ready very finely ground coffee was added,a couple of cinnamon sticks,a few clovers, and raw brown sugar paste, once poured some would even add a splash of any spirit at hand (even pure cane alcohol would do...)

I used to work for Cafe Soleil (back when it was just the off- shoot of L'Etoile). The kitchen would make a huge batch and then most of it never made it out to the customers because we couldn't stop drinking it. Thanks for the memory bomb!

This is fantastic! I make cold brew at home quite a bit in the warmer months, but never considered steeping the grounds with other flavors. I tried the cinnamon-brown sugar this time and it was so delicious -- excited to branch out with some of the other suggestions next time!

January 24, 2015
I'm going to try this with my new espresso maker tomorrow by putting the coffee in with the cinnamon and a cardomom pod so it heats through and up into the pot together.... I like the idea of it hot instead of cold... add some palmyra jaggery - http://consciousfood.co.uk/palmyra-jaggery - for sweetness... YUM!

I just bought some cinnamon oil, and as soon as I have it I'm going to try this recipe with it. Good Earth Tea uses (used?) cinnamon oil in their proprietary blend. It gave regular black tea a really sweet taste, and I loved it. I'm eager to see what it does for cold brewed coffee. Thanks to Jennifer for her comment which reminded me of this recipe. ;)

Hmmm. No wonder my iced coffee is always the buzz of the century. I usually do 1 cup grounds per 2 cups water. I think this recipe really sounds worth trying so it is in the pitcher now.
I actually bought a pitcher that is designed for iced coffee. It if don't work at all but it works gret to strain it! Lol.

WOW........I've been making iced coffee by the gallon for a couple years now.
Tried many different sweeteners from sugar to coffee creamer flavorings and was told by a friend to try sweetened canned condensed milk. BINGO but a half a can per gallon is plenty. NOW I can't wait to try the brown sugar. It sounds awesome !!!!!

Drinking this now it's yummy! I have no fancy coffee press but I use a keurig I brew dark roast into mason jars then leave in fridge overnight, I also make iced coffee cubes as I don't like to water down my drinks. In the morning I put all ingredient into my vitamix add a few iced coffee cubes and blend it's also really good to blend in a few pecans for flavor too! Thanks for the recipe I never thought to use brown sugar in my coffee!

The 'Scandinavian version' you mention in the intro has been our GO TO recipe for some time now! It's tastier than any of the bottled stuff we've come across. I make large batches to last us all week: 2.5 cups of freshly ground coffee, 9 cups water, 1 tablespoon ground fennel seed, 1 teaspoon almond extract (sometimes I divide this and do a bit of vanilla as well), 2 tablespoons sugar (whatever we have on hand). Yum and yum.

If you go to TheYummylife.com blog, you will see a similar receipe. Difference is putting the grounds in the large strainer(from Amazon). Go to site and look up non alcholic beverages. Then you will see recipe and on the right side of page you will
see the Amazon ad for the filter. I use one for Iced tea and one for the coffee. Use a wide mouth quart jar with a lid for when storing the iced coffee. Pour filtered water on to the grounds slowly. It will take a while. I use a chop stick to stir the grounds while the water is seeping in. Cover with the strainer cover(comes with it) and store on counter for 12 hours. Take strainer out and viola. Best iced coffee EVER. I put in cinnamin and some dark chocolate unsweetned cocoa.

This technique will give purpose to my large French press at least 6 months of the year. It is so choice.

This is an AMAZING recipe! Thank you so much! I have really been wanting a good, easy recipe for iced coffee that doesn't require all these ingredients that I wouldn't normally have on hand! I made this "Magical Coffee" tonight and both my husband and I think that it really is like the name says ... Magic! I will definitely be making this again!

Just tried this and had to comment for those wondering if it's worth the effort - give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Excellent, smooth, tasty iced coffee! I used light brown sugar (it's all I had on hand) and it was still wonderful.

With the ground seeds of two cardamom pods and a teaspoon of rose water. In the second cup I plunged a scoop of very dark chocolate sorbet. I think it will be a good base to make Greek Frappe as well. Thank you for the inspiration.

To make filtering less of an issue, I make cold brewed coffee in a French press. I put in a half pound of grounds, fill it with water (it's the litre size), and let it rest for a few hours. I do the press thing, bottling the very strong coffee base and putting it in the fridge. Then I refill the carafe and repeat. Of course the second "pressing" isn't as strong, but it's still plenty strong. This makes a base to be diluted with water or milk, for my tastes about 1 part base to 10 parts milk, but ymmv. If I'm making big pitchers of the iced coffee/latte, I'll "brew" the same grounds a third time and not dilute so much.
Depending on the grind you use, you may need to either let the base settle and pour off the clear part, or pour it through a coffee filter to get any sludge that might have made it past the press.
I have a sensitivity to the coffee oils, and this cold brewing is the only thing that's let me have anything coffee since my teens. For me, the first flush is best, as after that the oils start to come out even in cold water. But, as someone who used to love coffee, I appreciate the whole process and wish I'd heard/thought of it years ago.

Simply put: I'm addicted! I've had to resort to hiding the jar in the back of the fridge so the rest of the house doesn't drink it. Can't wait to try some of the other variations! I can tell I'll be brewing this up all summer!

How deliciously I started my morning today!! Inspired by a cup of coffee I had repeatedly on a 2010 SF trip at Philz Coffee (Philosopher's blend), I added 5 cardamom pods (crushed slightly) to my doubled recipe. Extra magical!

I forgot to add: I ran it through my mesh strainer to get rid of the big stuff. Rinsed out strainer put paper towel in the strainer and strained again for the smaller stuff. A coffee filter did not work for some reason.

I would like to know what kind of coffee everyone used that they thought it was so good. I made it with Starbucks Dark French Roast and it was horrible - very bitter no taste of cinnamon or sweetness. I dumped a lot of French Vanilla creamer in it in order to drink it. Apparently no used that coffee????
Frangra
August 1, 2012
I would recomend either Starbucks Espresso Roast or their Verona. French Roast is way to smokey for this type of iced coffee beverage. If you still want something lighter, their Guatamala is excellent too. I sometimes you it in my home espresso machine. Hope that helps! Can't wait to try this myself.

I make a large batch of cold brewed coffee every 2-3 weeks using an entire pound of coffee... Then I stir in a little half and half, and about a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk -I saw it called thia iced coffee once... It is amazing!
I'm going to try your method today and see how the additions are, then maybe adjust my current recipe!

I made this a few days ago and thought it was really good! However, if you are like me and prefer drinks a little less sweet, I would start off with 1 Tb. brown sugar and go from there. The cinnamon was a really good addition. I also used coffee beans that I roasted myself so that made it extra delicious.

Erin, I had to do an exhaustive search in my 'history' to find you and this recipe...I came across it last week while scrolling through blogs and made a mental note. On New Year's Eve, I mixed a double batch. While we were recovering the next morning with Bloody Mary's, I strained the coffee, and later in the afternoon, I mixed a batch of drinks using the Magical Coffee, Vanilla Infused Vodka, a little Bailey's Mint, and milk, all over ice. It was a wonderful afternoon pick us up!! And a fantastic drink!! Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed it! Thank you!

I made it! It is so good. The combination of cinnamon and brown sugar is delicious. I don't usually take cream in my coffee, but I had a little half and half, so I added that. Divine. Magical Coffee has changed my morning routine, if not my whole life.

Okay, I'm still here. I've made this, both versions (several times), and I didn't die of happiness. But I did feel like I'd died and gone to heaven!! I can see this becoming the ace in my morning rotation, with experimentation and new versions forthcoming, especially next spring when the mornings are warmer on a regular basis. Thank you so much, ErinH, for sharing this gem with us!!

Yum, this looks, well, magical!! I'm going to try the Scandinavian version tonight. But I'm not sure about the third step . . . I'd like to be happy when I die, but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to go just yet.
See what other Food52ers are saying.
