Looking for the perfect refreshing drink to enjoy during the Summer? Try our cold brew recipe for a delicious, thirst-quenching iced coffee for the warmer days ahead.
Ingredients
- A large brewing vessel, this could be a large Cafetiere, water jug or make things a lot easier by investing in a Hario cold Brew bottle.
- Coffee ground for filter brewing. We recommend our newest limited edition Raspberry Lemonade Coffee for a super fruity brew.
- Filtered water
- Muslin Cloth for a clean final brew (or a cafetiere can work too)
Method
- Weigh out and grind coffee coarse for filter brewing. Prepare at 1:4 ratio e.g. 250g coffee to 1l water.
- Put the coffee inside a fine muslin cloth and close tight using string or a rubber brand.
- Add one third of the total water (hot) then wait 5 mins before adding the remaining two thirds water (cold)
- Leave for 16-18 hours in room temperature
- Taste samples using a teaspoon to decide when the taste has reached your desired profile.
- Strain and serve over ice.
Pro tip - There's not a great deal of manipulation the brewer can impart on the flavour make up of cold brew coffee without introducing heat but you can play around with the concentration. The above recipe will create a final brew with a similar concentration to hot brewed coffee but with less acidity and a softer flavour profile. This means it's ready to drink with no dilution.
If you're using as a concentrate (e.g. with milk or even espresso martinis) try doubling the dose for brewing.
