BEST WAY TO USE OUR COLD BREW BEANS
Cold brew coffee is a popular and refreshing way to enjoy coffee, especially on hot summer days. Here are the general steps to make the perfect cold-brew coffee:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee
- 4 cups of cold, filtered water
Equipment:
- A large glass jar or pitcher
- A coffee filter or cheesecloth
- A fine mesh strainer
Instructions:
-
Start by coarsely grinding your coffee beans. For cold brew, you want a coarser grind than you would use for other brewing methods, such as drip or French press. A coarse grind will prevent the coffee from becoming too bitter during the extended brewing process.
-
Add the coarsely ground coffee to a large glass jar or pitcher.
-
Pour the cold, filtered water over the coffee grounds, making sure that all of the grounds are fully saturated.
-
Stir the coffee and water mixture gently to ensure that the coffee grounds are fully immersed in the water.
-
Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
-
Let the coffee steep in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, but up to 24 hours for a stronger brew.
-
Once the coffee has steeped, remove the jar or pitcher from the refrigerator and strain the coffee through a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove the grounds.
-
Pour the cold brew coffee into a glass filled with ice and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans for the best flavor.
- Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio to suit your taste preferences. A ratio of 1:4 or 1:5 (coffee to water) is a good starting point, but feel free to experiment and adjust as needed.
- Cold brew coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
