Ingredients
  • 30 gram (about 5 tablespoons) light/medium roasted coffee, ground medium/coarse
  • 20 gram (about 1 heaping tablespoon) local honey
  • 2 dashes ground cinnamon
  • 1 thinly sliced poached pear (recipe below)
  • 4 small pears
  • 2 cup simple syrup
  • 2 tablespoon local honey
  • 1/2 bottle of sweet white wine or desert wine
  • 2 drops vanilla extract
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 2 cloves
  • 2 pods star anise

Directions
  1. Heat water to 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Prewet your filter and heat the glass catcher. Pour out remaining water before starting your brewing.
  3. In the base of the glass catcher add 20 grams of honey (about 1 heaping tablespoons).
  4. After you have ground your 30 grams of coffee (about 5 tablespoons), add your two dashes of cinnamon and make sure it is evenly distributed by gently shaking the coffee.
  5. Add coffee to the Kalita and give a gentle shake to make sure you have an even coffee bed.
  6. Thinly slice 3 pieces of poached pear and keep them nearby.
  7. Pour roughly 60 grams (60 milliliters) of water into the coffee, making sure that all grounds are evenly wet and let bloom for 30 seconds.
  8. Add the 3 slices of pear to the coffee after the bloom and continue with your pour over.
  9. You will do 3 stages of water each time adding roughly 150 grams (150 milliliters) of water and letting drain for 10-15 seconds in-between pulses. Let drain fully and enjoy your pear cider pour over.
  10. Add 2 cups Simple syrup, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 bottle of wine, 2 drops vanilla extract, 3 cinnamon sticks, 1/2 teaspoon cardamom, 2 cloves, 2 pods star anise 1 pinch kosher salt to large sauce pan and heat until thoroughly incorporated.
