# Make Coffee Concentrate 1 Lbs course grounded coffee. + Chicory 2 QT Water steep for 12 hours. using Toddy system suggested # making the Nola coffee In 12 Oz cup, Add. 4 Oz Ice 4 Oz coffee 4 Oz daily of your choice. The default is organic. Whole milk. Add simple syrup to taste. Nola concentrate ratio 1:4. 4oz coffee : 16 oz water Drink ratio 1:1:1 Ice, milk, coffee concentrate Coffee will stay fresh in refrigerator upto 7 days if you do not add simple syrup.
Hi, question. What’s the ratio of chicory if we do the 1:4 coffee to water mix? I have a 24 oz small toddy system thats why. Would it just be half the 1oz of chicory?
I had this when I went to Santa Monica beach and it was sooo good! I went back later on the same day to buy another one but they closed early :( I added a bit more simple syrup because I like coffee a bit on the sweeter side, but I didn’t need much and it was delicious because I can taste the coffee flavor without it being bitter. It was the perfect amount of sweet and coffee flavor. Unfortunately I don’t live close to any Blue Bottles :( so I will try this recipe one day!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it and added your own personal touch. It's a bummer you didn't get an opportunity to get another, but hopefully, you get a chance to revisit us. We'd love to hear what you try next.
Can you please make a decaf version please? Went to a cafe yesterday and ended up ordering a decaf latte instead which was still delicious but really wanted to try the Nola! ❤️
The recipe card states 12oz coffee and 2 quarts of water. At two different points in the video, it’s stated this is a pound of coffee. Water required is 2 quarts. Should less water be used with 12 oz coffee? Are the new coffee beans super powered and still use same water amount?
Craig, your keen eye has caught an error that shows Michael's age in glaring terms... You are correct, it should be 12 oz, our host mistakenly said a pound (because back in HIS day a full bag was typically a pound) when he should have said simply an entire bag (which is 12 oz) Sorry for the mistake!
The magic of brewing at home means few things are truly required as even when brewing goes wrong it is rarely harmful. The flat pad adds an extra layer of filtration that gives you a cleaner cup than with just the paper alone. I would suggest experimenting to see what you prefer. As a side note, Toddy suggests an alternate method that only uses the felt filter pad and not the paper.
So I just signed up for this kit last month and my first brew was really good. I'd like to point out a couple of issues. My first 24oz order (2 bags) only came with one 28 bag of chicory. I opted for one 12 oz bag for my next kit and it came with no chicory. Is this normal? Is the first one free and I have to buy chicory from somewhere else?
As long as you clean your brewing tools between each use, maintain your filters properly by rinsing and storing cool and use the product in a timely fashion it is very safe. This is essentially the same method we use in cafes around the world.
You certainly can, the kit just helps you make it easy and ensures you have the same ingredients as we use in our cafe. You can substitute for another coffee, darker roasts match the chicory best and then you can find the chicory itself at gourmet grocery stores. Then just follow the amounts we suggest!
Hey Sarah, you can definitely scale the recipe and just cut everything in half! We would suggest it still steep for the full time but aside from that just divide all ingredients by 2. Hope that helps!
Uhhh.... Here's a twist. No we don't. Y'all went and made an iced coffee, named it after my home town, and did it in a way no one here would. We don't use chicory in iced coffee. The BREW METHOD is what makes that extra thick iced coffee, not added ingredients. You'd be surprised how rare chicory is in new Orleans. We mostly don't use it. Idk why you would. You're adding a cheap cut to your 14-25/12oz coffee. You're ruining it.

This is truly addictive
It is one of our favorites!
Absolutely delicious recipe. Some of the best iced coffee I’ve ever had.
Great to hear, glad you enjoyed it!

Had it today, nothing like it, absolutely delicious and smooth. Williamsburg 😎
love coldbrew in this hot weather!!
Blue bottle is so tasty!!!
Can you please make a decaf version please? Went to a cafe yesterday and ended up ordering a decaf latte instead which was still delicious but really wanted to try the Nola! ❤️
Addictive and the best! I hoard those little cartons!
Get yourself a Toddy and our NOLA kit and you will have the keys to the kingdom! Limitless NOLA!
Nola and Vietnamese ice coffee similar taste except for condensed milk instead of simple syrup and whole milk.
is it ok not the use the entire bag?just mix the nola beans and chicory and do batches? using the hario bottle to brew.

This is a really great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it! We will have a few more around cold brew methods coming out this summer so stay tuned!
So we should use up the entire bag of coffee beans + 2 quarts of water?
Can you share what brand you guys use for simple syrup?
We make our own simple syrup Coco. We use a mixture that is 50% sugar and 50% hot water mixed together. We prefer a white granulated sugar.
@@bluebottlecoffee4527 If you add the simple syrup individually, how much do you add?
@@amneziak ☝🏼same
if we already use the paper filter bag, is the white spongy plug still required?

How would it make this with my Personal Oji?

Amazing!
Thanks!
"Precise, detail oriented..." From Blue Bottle? SHOCKED 😲😲😲
Y'all define precise and detail oriented.
Thank you for the high praise :]
If you haven't had a NOLA, what are you doing with your life?
Accurate 🤣🤣🤣🤣
right?!?
I did not get the recipe card with my kit...had to wing it. BB website does not allow reorder of chicory pkg.
You can also find chicory at many gourmet grocery stores!
How can I do with without more kitchen equipment :D?
You can use Mason jar and cheese cloth.
You can definitely DIY this with a lot of common kitchen tools, it might just be a bit more challenging to not make a mess :]
Can you get away with using the hario cold brewer for this coffee?
It looks so delicious, but how about higienity?
As long as you clean your brewing tools between each use, maintain your filters properly by rinsing and storing cool and use the product in a timely fashion it is very safe. This is essentially the same method we use in cafes around the world.
Can I make it without the kit? Thanks.
You certainly can, the kit just helps you make it easy and ensures you have the same ingredients as we use in our cafe. You can substitute for another coffee, darker roasts match the chicory best and then you can find the chicory itself at gourmet grocery stores. Then just follow the amounts we suggest!
Thank you.
Is there a way to make smaller batches? I don’t want to make the whole bag at once!
Hey Sarah, you can definitely scale the recipe and just cut everything in half! We would suggest it still steep for the full time but aside from that just divide all ingredients by 2. Hope that helps!
U r way more handsome than any hollywood actors. Wanna watch your movie man.
Gross. Not the place or the time.
