Cold brew coffee is coffee that is brewed cold and is different from cold coffee.The coffee grounds are steeped in water as long as 24 hours to produce a concentrated coffee essence, which is then diluted to taste and served chilled.
How to Brew
Step 1 : Ingredients
What you need
- Glass Jar (as per quantity needed)
- Mean Bean 100% Arabica Ground coffee (If the grind is too fine, the flavors of the finished brew will be bitter and harsher, because of over-extraction. Therefore, your grind should be coarse for cold brewing)
- RO Water
- Cheese Cloth
Step 2: Brewing
Ratio of brewing : 1 litre of water needs approx. 80-90 grams of coffee (depending if you want a strong or light brew).
The immersion method of brewing involves steeping the ground beans (in a cheese cloth, aka muslin cloth) in cold water for up to 18-24 hours.
P.S- According to us, using the Mean Bean 100% Arabica or the Mean Bean Blend is the best way to get a smooth, full-flavoured cold brew.
Step 3: Storage
Store in a glass container in the fridge, Cold brew has a shelf-life of 15 days from date of brewing.
Add Milk or Whipped Cream as per taste:
Our
advice is to try your finished brew first. If you prefer a little MILK in your
coffee, add some.
But you may find you don’t need it. A blend of three parts cold brew to one
part milk works well; it’s all just a matter of personal taste.
Ice, ice baby …
Serve your brew chilled, add ice to make it even better
Sexing up your brew
Vietnamese Cold Brew: Add Condensed Milk (as per taste) , instead of regular milk – you will get a kick-ass creamy sweet coffee, which is one of our BESTSELLERS.
Call it Charlie: Add 2 parts Cold brew and 1 part tonic water, it’s a great option for vegan and lactose intolerant folks. (you could also spike it with some alcohol, rum works best)
Cold Brew with Coconut Milk: If you like something tropical, add coconut milk to
