Tips To Succeed
? Make sure your beans are coarsely ground Beans that are ground to a sandy powder, like drip coffee, can result in an over-infused coffee and make the strained coffee gritty and muddy. Your beans should look like coarse cornmeal, or even slightly rougher.
? Use filtered water, if possible This is just good coffee advice in general, really. Your cup of coffee will have a cleaner, sweeter flavor if you use filtered water to make it.
? Steep for at least 12 hours It's fine to cut this time a little short, but don't get too stingy. The coffee needs full time to fully infuse the water. Straining too early can give you a weaker cup of coffee. Also be careful of over-steeping, which can start to extract some of those bitter flavors we're hoping to avoid.
? Chill your cold brew with coffee ice cubes
Steps for Making Cold Brew Coffee:
? Grind the coffee coarsely, which you can do yourself at home or wherever you buy the beans.
? Combine the grounds with water, then let it steep overnight, or for around 12 hours.
? During this time, the coffee slowly infuses into the water, creating a strong, concentrated brew. Strain the next morning, and you're ready to go.
