cold brew coffee is made by soaking coffeegrounds in cold or room temperature water for an extended period of time. it has a sweeterflavor because you don’t get that bitter acidity you get when you brew it with hotwater. you don’t need any fancy equipment to make cold brew coffee. all you need isa big jar, some delicious coffee beans and water!i'll start with a large mason jar and fill
difference between light and dark roast coffee, it with 3 cups of filtered water. next, i’lltake ⅔ cup of fresh coffee beans and grind it into a medium to coarse ground. it’sreally important to use quality coffee beans for your cold brew. use either a robust mediumor dark roast. i really like this blend from tiny footprint coffee - coldpress elixir #9.it’s has a combination of light and dark
roasted beans specifically made for cold brew.its bold but smooth and chocolatey. so look for something with a similar flavor profile.but i especially like that this coffee’s fair trade, organic, and harvested with sustainablepractices. i'll add the ground coffee to my water andthen i'll top off the jar with more water. then i'll make sure all of the coffee groundsare wet. i’ll gently punch down any remaining dry grounds into the water with the back ofa spoon but being careful not to stir it up. finally i’ll seal it up air-tight and letit brew at room temperature for 6 hours or ideally overnight. cold brew coffee's naturalsweetness is due to its lower acidity because it’s brewed with cold water rather thanhot water.
i’ll strain it through my nut milk bag butyou can use a fine mesh sieve if you prefer. and there we have it, a beautifully concentratedcold brew coffee that will instantly re-energize your afternoon. i like to enjoy it over icewith with an equal serving of milk. sometimes
i'll add a little bit of sweetener but likei said, it already has natural sweetness so i think it’s perfectly balanced. if youdon’t use it up right away it will last in the fridge for up to two weeks. thanksfor watching another coffee break and i’ll see you next time. bye!
