Cold Brewed Coffee

Cold brewing results in a better tasting coffee, imo. The slow infusion without heat results in lower acidity and a smooth drink while enhancing the taste of coffee. Here’s what a barista says:

It turns out that heat pulls some of the most intense and aromatic chemicals out of coffee beans, which translates into the acidic, slightly bitter taste of hot-brewed coffee. Because cold brew is made with cool water, it tastes sweeter, a bit milder, and way less acidic.

Equipment: 8 x 10 cm. disposable tea bag

  1. Put two tablespoons of ground coffee in a tea bag
  2. Put the bag in a mug, and fill will cold water
  3. Leave overnight (~12 hrs) on table top to brew at room temp.
  4. In the morning, dispose of the tea bag
  5. Enjoy the coffee heated, or at room temp.
