The recipe
101 g · 833 g cold water · 16 h · 1:8
- Grind 101 g coarse — the texture of raw sugar — and stir it into 833 g of cold water until no dry grounds are left floating.
- Leave it 16 hours in the fridge. Longer is not stronger past a day, only heavier.
- Strain twice, the second time through paper, and serve over ice in the diner.
- Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
- Whip to soft peaks, no further, and spoon it on in one movement.
