Cold brew coffee delivers a smooth, rich taste that wakes up the senses like a cool breeze on a hot day. It stands apart from regular coffee by being bold yet mellow, without that sharp, bitter bite many expect. The secret lies in its long brewing time, which softens acidity and creates a flavor traditional coffee can’t touch. Anyone who craves a fresh twist on caffeine will find cold brew a game-changer. Imagine sipping a drink that feels like a calm splash of refreshment on a busy morning. Discovering this cool brew unlocks a whole new way to enjoy coffee that’s sure to brighten up any routine. Keep going to see how cold brew could be the perfect pick-me-up that changes everything.
Because it’s cold brewed over a long period – 24 hours is best – the flavours haven’t been demolished by heat.
You get all the nuances, all the goodness, and a good dose of caffeine, too.
I have been using Cory Doctorow’s recipe for cold brew, which is, by the way, the method that Wil Wheaton approves of.
And if Wil Wheaton does it, then that settles it, right?
Ingredients
- Light to medium roast coffee (I like Bizzy Organic Smooth & Sweet)
- Nut milk bag (it’s like a big reusable teabag)
- Plastic pitcher
- Cold water and ice to taste
Directions
- Grind the beans to coarse (or “french press”) grind. If you prefer your coffee on the bitter side, go for medium.
- Put the coffee in the nut milk bag.
- Add distilled water (or tap water will do). Ratio is 4:1.
- Steep in a nut milk bag for 12+ hours in the counter or in the fridge. For bitter coffee, leave it there for 18+ hours.
- Remove the bag from the coffee and squeeze out the remaining liquid.
- Dilute the coffee with cold water and ice cubes to taste (I prefer 1:1).
- If you like, add sweeteners and/or your milk of choice. Or just enjoy it like that.
Reason why cold brew is so awesome is hot water dissolves some undesirable acidic oils in the coffee bean, whereas cold brewing only dissolves some of the most aromatic flavors.
Cold brew is 67% less acidic than conventional brews.
As a result you get low-acid and incredibly tasty coffee.
Oh and one more thing: cold coffee does not spoil!
Hope you love this as much as I do!
Love,
