But First, Coffee: 5 Must-Try Cold Brew Coffee Recipes At Home

Would you like it oozing with whip cream? Or with chocolate sprinkles? How about cold-brewed?

Read below about some of the best cold brew recipes that you can try at home.

Simple Cold Brew

Before anything else, a cold brew coffee is not the same as regular hot coffee dipped in ice or drip coffee.

Instead of brewing in just a few minutes, a cold brew coffee is slow-brewed and steeped for almost 12 to 15 hours.

In this way, you’ll get a less acidic, bitter coffee. Also, your cold-brewed coffee can last in the entire week!

Imagine having a fresh sip of cold brew coffee every day.

Here’s how you make a simple cold brew coffee:

  • Grind your coffee beans to a medium-coarse grind.
  • Add coffee beans to a mason jar or any glass container and add four cups of water. The ratio should be 4:1—four cups of water and one cup of coffee beans.
  • Steep the coffee for 12 to 15 hours. But if you like your cold brew stronger, you can opt to steep it in 24 hours.
  • After steeping the coffee, strain it using a fine-mesh sieve or any fine strainer.
  • Pour the strained coffee into another glass container and refrigerate.
  • Dilute the cold brew coffee by adding ice or with water. Please do not drink it straight up, or you might feel agitated for the rest of the day. Enjoy your new cold brew  by adding milk or creamer.
