Cold Brew Coffee has become my newest obsession.
I've tried to drink black coffee, so many times.
I know, I sound like a whimp, but I can't. I know I physically can, but I don't like it one bit.
THAT'S a different story.
I can FINALLY drink my coffee black.
What is cold brew coffee?
"Cold brew coffee refers to the process of steeping coffee grounds in room temperature or cold water for an extended period. Cold brew coffee is not to be confused with iced coffee, which generally refers to coffee that is brewed hot and then chilled by pouring over or adding ice"
I've had a few people ask me how we make ours so keep in mind, these measurements are just for what we have/use to make ours.
We have a French Press, like this one here.
We use whole bean coffee--365 Brand from Whole Foods "Pacific Rim, Vienna Roast" it's a big ole bag for about $10. One of the better deals that we've found.
We have a grinder like this one here--one of our most used wedding gifts--we grind the beans for about 10-15 seconds. This ends up being about 4.5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) of ground coffee (not finely ground).
Then, we pour the grounds into the french press and fill it with 4 cups of water. We just use the filtered water from the refrigerator.
Once you've put the water in, we give it a good stir and then put the lid on but don't press down the filter. Just leave it at the top.
Put it in the fridge overnight and when you're ready for your coffee in the morning, give it a little stir/swirl (this helps it to press down easier) and then press the filter down.
Get you a cup with some ice, pour your cold brew over ice and enjoy!
