1.
Welcome to the world of cold brew coffee! Get ready to learn the secrets of crafting the perfect cup of this refreshing beverage.
2.
First things first, start with high-quality coffee beans. Choose a medium to dark roast for a rich and bold flavor.
3.
Grind your beans to a coarse consistency. This will prevent over-extraction and give your cold brew a smooth taste.
4.
Next, add your ground coffee to a jar or pitcher and pour in cold, filtered water. The ratio should be 1:4, coffee to water.
5.
Stir the mixture gently to ensure all the grounds are fully saturated. Then cover and let it steep in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
6.
After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. This will remove any remaining grounds.
7.
Now it's time to dilute your cold brew. Use a 1:1 ratio of coffee concentrate to water or milk, depending on your preference.
8.
For a sweeter taste, add a splash of simple syrup or your favorite flavored syrup.
9.
Serve your cold brew over ice and enjoy! You can also store it in the fridge for up to a week.
