Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 4 minutes
Total Time: 14 minutes
Servings: 1
Equipment: French press, espresso tamper or spoon for mashing, stirring utensil, cup or glass
Instructions:
1. Take 6 blackberries and mash them using an espresso tamper or a spoon until they are completely pulverized.
2. Prepare your French press coffee as you normally would. Place the mashed blackberries into the French press before adding your coffee grounds and hot water.
3. Stir the blackberries and coffee mixture gently, ensuring the berries are evenly distributed. Let it sit for the typical four minutes.
4. While the coffee is steeping, take the additional 12 blackberries and mash them as well – a tamper may be used for this step for a smoother consistency.
5. Combine the mashed blackberries with 9 oz of milk in a glass or cup. If desired, use a blender for a silky texture or sieve the mixture for a smoother drink, removing any large chunks.
6. Flavor the blackberry and milk mixture with vanilla syrup to taste. Start with 1 oz and add more if you prefer a sweeter drink.
7. After four minutes, press down on the French press to separate the coffee from the grounds.
8. Pour the blackberry-infused coffee into the glass with the blackberry and milk mixture.
9. Add ice to the mixture for a chilled beverage. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the flavors are well combined.
10. Taste and adjust the sweetness with additional vanilla syrup if needed.
11. Enjoy immediately!

Cooking Tips:
For a colder beverage, chill your French press coffee after brewing and before mixing with the milk and syrup.
Consider using a chocolate, caramel, nut, or berry-flavored coffee for an extra layer of flavor that complements the blackberries.
