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?
Interesting, I made my first batch in a French press…only enough for one serving though. If I make a bigger batch, how long have you found one can store the concentrate? It’d be tempting to make a huge batch on the weekend to last me the week. I only see myself having a cup a day.
I don’t think there’s a clear cutoff from a taste perspective, it’ll just be staler the longer you wait. As with most things, it’s just about juggling the convenience vs quality tradeoff. But the win-win solution, especially in the later days, might be that condensed milk everyone’s talking about.
