Top 6 Things You can Do with your French Press

Do you know that you can make other things using your French Press other than a spectacular coffee? If you don’t know how to use your French Press other than to make coffee than you’re seriously missing out. Are you ready to be amazed?

Froth Milk

Some of the finest café drinks have frothed milk heated up as a topper. A French press is very handy to replicate the frothy goodness right at home. Simply heat up a small volume of milk in the microwave, and then thrust it into your French press before you get the froth degree you 're looking for. Certainly, you can do this with a whisk on the stove too, but this is much more efficient. Less clutter, less hassle. Apply cinnamon, vanilla and/or cardamom to the hot milk for a true coffee change, then let it steep before frothing in your French press.

Brew Tea

Making tea in your French press might sound like the transfer, it's really very close to making coffee. Are you afraid of getting fancy? Follow the guidance of professional holistic wellness consultant Erica Joy Dunn and incorporate fresh ingredients. "When the water starts boiling in the French press, I pare and cut bits of fresh ginger. I place them at the bottom of the French press and squeeze them in a full lemon juice. I then gently shake the ground turmeric over the top and dump the boiling water over it, making it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. I mix in Mike's Hot Honey and then slowly press it.

Cook Soup

French press is perfect for soups! "You can fill the French press with plethora of piquant such as basil and cilantro, peppercorns, a five-spice or star anise stub, crushed ginger, some dehydrated mushrooms for texture and maybe even a slice of jalapeño to add a touch of heat. Then pour some hot broth over the ingredients and let them simmer for a few minutes.

Making Infusions

"This aids you to observe the savors and taste before scaling them. That makes it easier to produce new drinks at home." You can even produce flavored oils with your French press.

Cold Coffee

Simply apply room temperature water instead of hot water after you ground your beans and place the recommended serving in a bottle. Then let it cool up in your refrigerator until you’re ready to drink it.
