Not cold coffee! As the name suggests, coffee is brewed cold when it comes to cold brew. This makes it taste much less bitter in the end than if you were to brew it warm and then let it cool down. Cold brew concentrate is also very easy to prepare. It is best to fill it into a bottle afterwards and store it in the fridge. And as soon as you feel like it: just add water or (plant-based) milk, a few ice cubes and enjoy.
- Take a large container or French press and add the coarsely ground coffee.
- Pour cold water over the coffee and stir gently to ensure that all the coffee is moistened.
- Place the container or French press in the fridge for at least 12 hours (or overnight). The longer the coffee brews, the stronger the aroma will be.
- After the brewing time, remove the container from the refrigerator and stir again.
- If you are using a French press, press the plunger down slowly to separate the coffee grounds. If you used a container without a filter, you can pour the coffee through a fine sieve or coffee filter to remove the coffee grounds.
- Now the Cold Brew concentrate is ready! Depending on your preference, you can now dilute the concentrate with water or milk. Use 25 ml of concentrate to 75 ml of water/milk.
I personally prefer to drink the "White" edition with rice milk. This plant-based milk gives the drink a light sweetness – entirely without added sugar.
