Introduction
- Cold brewing produces a coffee concentrate which can then be used to make hot coffee, iced coffee, or a coffee flavored beverage. You'll need a coffee maker designed for cold brew, which you can purchase or make yourself with equipment you already have at home. The key ingredients of successful cold brew are quality coffee, fresh water, and patience, as the mixture needs to steep for 12 hours.
Step 1: Select Your Cold Brew Equipment
- Cold brewing does require specialized equipment. You can purchase a specialty pot, or improvise one with materials you have around the house.
Step 2: Cold Brew the Coffee
- Add the grounds to the pot.
- Pour the water over the coffee, making sure that all the grounds get wet.
- Swirl the water around very gently, if needed.
- Do not stir vigorously.
- Allow to brew for 12 hours.
- Pour off the concentrate, being careful to leave the grounds in the pot.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the concentrate to hot or cold water to reconstitute.
