Father's Day Recipes For the Coffee-Loving Dad

Super-sweet with tonnes of ice or a classic cold coffee, if your dad loves his regular cup of coffee, it's time to surprise him with some new brews!

So, here are some innovative and delicious brews to surprise your dad on Father's Day for all the energy he needs to keep cracking his famous dad jokes!   

Manisha, the senior barista at SLAY Coffee in Delhi shares four gourmet Cold Brew Coffee recipes that are perfect to sip along with your dad. All you need is to freeze your brew of premium coffee grounds (available at SLAY Coffee - use SLAY Signature Blend which is single-origin premium 100% Arabica blend) to make ice cubes for your ease. 

So, you’ll need: Coffee grounds, a mug/mason jar and strainer

How to Brew It

(Recipe for making 400ml of Cold Brew)

Take 100 grams of freshly ground coffee powder. The coffee grounds should be coarse and not fine for the ideal cold brew.

Place the coffee grounds in a jar. Pour 500ml of water (use filter water for better results). Stir it thoroughly so the entire coffee grounds are properly soaked 

Place the jar in the refrigerator for about 18-hours (the range is from 12 to 24 hours; so, we are going with the midpoint)

Take it out after 18-hours and strain it. You can use a French press if you have one or a fine tea strainer or even a fine cotton/muslin cloth. Just ensure no coffee grounds remain in the filtered cold brew. This should get you a yield of approximately 400ml of cold brew.

Pour them in an ice tray and freeze them for your ready to use Cold Brew Ice cubes. Voila! 

The hack: to make cold brew ice cubes that you can use whenever you want and most importantly it extends the shelf-life and saves you a ton of time! 

Now, to put your surprise into action, here are her pick of recipes just right for Father's Day:

Oatmeal Latte For The Health-Conscious Dad

Add ½ cup of oats into the saucepan along with ½ cup of milk over medium heat.

Remove from heat, and stir in another ¼ cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.

Spoon the oatmeal into a mug, and add some granola & fresh fruits on top. Sip and spoon this Father’s Day morning!

Iced Whiskey Latte For The Party-Starter Dad
