Instructions
- Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until fragrant. Set aside.
- Add the coffee and hot water to the French press, put the lid on and wait 4 minutes. This makes a strong coffee that holds up to milk.
- While it steeps, warm the milk with the maple syrup and salt in a small saucepan until steamy but not boiling. Froth it with the French press plunger or a whisk.
- Press the coffee, divide it between two mugs, add the milk and top with the toasted pecans.
Tip: this uses more coffee per cup of water than a regular French press brew. For a normal cup, see our French press coffee to water ratio chart.
Contains nuts. Skip the pecans, or use toasted seeds, if you need to avoid them. Similar drink: French Press Brown Sugar Oat Latte.
