I’m getting old and the morning coffee isn’t doing anything for the crash after midday. It’s also getting hot and I don’t want an afternoon hot cup of coffee. I want to try making cold brew and it seems simple enough. Any tips?
So far I’ve seen 1:8 coffee to water recommended. 24 hours steeped and 2:1 water to concentrate. Sound ok? Any extra steps to make it twice as good?
You’re certainly on the right track. I only cold brew occasionally, but almost always use 1:6 coffee to water and dilute 1:2 afterward with either ice or hot water, depending on my preference. It’s also what I use when expecting overnight houseguests. Start with 1:8 or 1:6 and experiment thereupon if you feel up for it.
For an indulgent treat, add sweetened condensed milk!
ooooooh I can’t be trusted around an open can of condensed milk… I’ll keep the suggestion in mind, sounds delicious. TY!
