Cold brew is a refreshing coffee preparation method that creates a smooth, less acidic beverage with an inherent natural sweetness. Here’s a simple recipe to make it at home:
Ingredients:
– Coffee beans (coarsely ground) – 120 grams (approximately 1 cup when tightly packed)
– Filtered water – 4 cups
Recipe:
1. Choose a coarsely ground coffee that suits your taste preference; if in doubt, try using an Arabica blend.
2. Measure out 4 cups of filtered water and pour it into a large glass container or jar.
3. Add the 1 cup (ground) coffee to the water and stir gently.
4. Seal the container tightly with its lid or cover with a plate and a towel, ensuring no air can enter.
5. Store in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours or up to 48 hours for a stronger brew.
6. After the desired time, strain the coffee using cheesecloth or coffee filters into another container, pressing down on the grounds to release as much liquid as possible. Discard the grounds.
7. Transfer the strained cold brew into an appropriate serving container and store in the refrigerator.
8. Serve over ice or mix with milk alternatives like almond or oat milk for a creamier option. For added sweetness, use honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free sweeteners.
