Ingredients

For cold brew coffee, you will need water and ground coffee beans. You can choose whatever type of beans you like, but it’s best to grind them at home because you want the grounds slightly bigger than you would for normal coffee. This will come in handy later in the process.

Method

1. Combine a gallon of water with 100 grams, or 3.5 oz of coffee grounds in a large container.
2. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix the water and coffee.
3. Cover it and leave it in the fridge for 24 hours.
4. Use a cheesecloth and strain the mixture into a different container. If your grounds are small, do this step a few times.
5. Put a mesh strainer with a paper towel on top and strain one more time.
6. Enjoy for up to a week!

Ingredients

• 12 chilis like serrano, habanero, or anything along those lines
• 4-6 Meyer lemons zested
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Start by deseeding your chilis. When you’re deseeding your chilis, make sure you’re also scrapping out as much pith as you can from the inside, because that will make the paste bitter.
2. Weight how much chilis you used so you know the ratio of zest you’ll need, and then leave them to the side.
3. However much chile you have, you want the ratio to be about 6 parts chili to 4 parts zest.
4. Zest either Meyer lemons, a combination of lime, lemon, and grapefruit, or a combination of all of them.
5. Toss the peppers into a food processor until they paste-like and then add in the zest as well as some salt to your taste.
6. Put the mixture into a well-sealed jar or resealable container and leave it in your fridge for a week before you use it. This will help mellow the spiciness.

Froth Milk

Turn your coffee up a notch in the morning without stepping foot into a cafe by adding frothed milk on top of it. Pour as much milk as you would normally use for your coffee, but still less than half of the jar, into a mason jar and screw on the lids. Vigorously shake the jar for 30-60 seconds. Unscrew the lid, microwave for 30 seconds, and you have perfect foam every time!

Breakfast

If you are someone who doesn’t have the biggest drive to wake up and start the day, take a bit more time to sleep and bring your breakfast on the go in a mason jar. You can do anything from yogurt and muesli to oatmeal, to breakfast quinoa! Whatever you have in the fridge use it and throw into a jar.

Flavor

You can flavor the pastry cream that goes inside your eclair however you want, but when it comes to flavoring the actual dough, be careful. If you go with a chocolate shell, then you run the risk of not being able to tell when it’s done. Stick with a simple dough and customize later.

Pastry Cream

The trick for perfectly set pastry cream is to leave it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to a whole day before you stuff your eclairs.

Baking

To make sure you get evenly baked and evenly sized eclairs, draw each one on a piece of parchment paper, and then flip it over so you can see the outlines when you’re piping.

Pro Tip: If you don’t have a piping bag, use a gallon plastic bag with the corner snipped off!

Ingredients

The star of this recipe is nutritional yeast. This is a type of yeast that is deactivated, which means it cannot be used as a rising agent. But, for some reason, it also tastes really cheesy! The best part is that there are a ton of B vitamins in it.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmw6fZyHaJD/?tagged=veganmacandcheese

Method

1. Boil and salt your water for the pasta
2. Make a roux using olive oil, garlic, and flour.
3. When the roux has come together, pour in whatever type of non-dairy milk you have on hand.
4. Whisk the liquid in slowly to try to get out as many lumps as possible.
5. Pour the liquid into a blender with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
6. Blend the sauce until smooth and pour over the cooked pasta
7. Mix well and serve with a few leaves of parsley on top.

Ingredients

What gives Nutella it’s unique flavor is the addition of hazelnuts. The amp up the flavor, roast them yourself before you put them in with the rest of the ingredients.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BjAR1TiB1dv/?tagged=vegannutella

Method

1. After roasting the hazelnuts, put them in a paper towel and rub them so the skins come off. Try to get as much skin off as possible as it makes the nuts slightly bitter.
2. Then, put the nuts in a high-speed blender or food processor until they come out like butter.
3. Then, add all the other ingredients in at one time to the machine: vanilla extract, cocoa powder, maple syrup or agave, salt, and the non-dairy milk of your choice. You can also add just a bit of oil if you find the mixture not as smooth as you’d like.
4. Enjoy!
