SAEDNEWS: A French press is a highly versatile tool, commonly used for brewing coffee or various teas. However, it also has other interesting uses, which we have shared with you in this article.
According to SAEDNEWS, If you’re a coffee enthusiast, you likely have a French press at home. Even if you don’t, you might be familiar with how to use one. This device is one of the best tools for making coffee, but did you know it has other uses as well? A French press can be utilized for various purposes, and in this article, we’ll share several examples of its applications with you.
Who doesn’t love sweet whipped cream? If someone says no, they’re probably joking. You can use a French press to make light and sweet whipped cream for your dessert. While it might not match the efficiency of an electric mixer, it’s definitely doable. Simply pour heavy cream into the French press, filling it halfway, and pump the plunger up and down quickly. In just about 5 minutes, you’ll have perfectly whipped cream.
You can use your French press to prepare fruit juices in smoothie form. Simply place your chosen fruit—like strawberries, blackberries, grapes, raspberries, mulberries, or blueberries—into the French press. Press down the plunger, and your refreshing juice or smoothie is ready to enjoy!
If you're a fan of cold brew coffee, you're in luck! You can easily make it at home using your French press, but it requires a bit of patience. Add coarsely ground coffee to the French press and pour water over it. Place the plunger on top without pressing it down. Let it steep for 12 to 24 hours, then press the plunger down. Pour the brewed coffee into a pitcher filled with ice and add milk if desired. Your cold brew coffee is ready to enjoy!
If you’re a fan of quinoa, you no longer need to worry about washing it. Quinoa, a tiny bean-shaped grain often used as a rice substitute in many diets, can be tricky to rinse. To make it easier, simply place the quinoa in the chamber of your French press and pour water over it. Swirl and shake the device gently to ensure the quinoa is thoroughly rinsed. Then press the plunger down—the grains will remain at the bottom while you pour the water out. Your quinoa is now washed and ready to cook, with not a single grain wasted.
If you use dried herbs in your cooking, especially in dishes like noodles, you can revive them with your French press. Simply place the dried herbs in the chamber, add enough water to cover them, then close the lid and press the plunger down. Afterward, pour out the water. Your herbs will be rehydrated and fresh, ready to add flavor to your dishes.
