I have a confession to make, I LOVE COFFEE!
I was introduced to cold brew at my local Starbucks but it started to get expensive. It's like $4 to get a Venti and I would need to get maybe two or three them in one day because they dilute it and it wasn't strong enough for me. So I decided to start making my own at home.
Cold brew is smoother, less bitter and more flavorful then regular hot coffee.
It's really easy to make. Don't need a lot of items to make it.
Items you will need
Whole Bean Coffee and a Coffee Grinder or Small Food Processor
Large Pitcher

| I used a local brand that is a mixture of medium and dark roast | . |
Cheesecloth

| It maybe $2 or $3 for a small pack. |
Large Pitcher
Let's get started to make some coffee.
First measure out two cups of coffee beans to a course ground.
Second cut around a six inch piece of cheesecloth then place a half of cup of grounds. Tie the top of the cloth and place on the bottom of the pitcher.

| Make four 1/2 cup bundles |
Third pour seven cups of filtered water into the pitcher.
Fourth place in the refrigerator for at least 24hours
Filter the cold brew through a piece of cheesecloth and a mesh strainer so none of any loose coffee grounds get into your finished coffee.
Makes enough for 4 to 6 cups of coffee. Stays fresh up to 2 to 3 days.
Your right! Starbucks is ridiculously expensive and usually not worth its expensive price either. I do like the sound and concept of cold brew!
ReplyDeleteCold brew is so much better than regular coffee because its smoother and less bitter also if you make it at home you can make a couple of days worth of coffee.
