Cold brew at home
Cold brew steeps coarse coffee in cold or room-temperature water for many hours, giving a smooth drink that many find less acidic. It is usually made as a concentrate and then diluted.
A typical start is 1 part coffee to 8 parts water by weight, steeped 12 to 18 hours in the fridge, then filtered and diluted with water or milk to taste. Keep it refrigerated and drink it within about a week.
Quick takeaways
- Use a coarse grind.
- Filter well to avoid a muddy cup.
- Dilute to taste.
