A cold coffee in a warm afternoon is indeed a real treat!
This is a light one, to enjoy in the late afternoon but without having the stress, that will affect the night sleep.
The cold brew coffee in general is milder, less bitter, less acidic and gives a long lasting kick of caffeine.
What is also important is, that you can make a bigger quantity and then store it in a bottle in the fridge. Like this you can have a cold coffee the day that it is ready but the 2 following days as well.
Ingredients
- 40gr of coarse ground coffee (in mx54 I did it in setting 32)
- 690ml cold water
Preparation
- Add in a container the coffee and the water and stir well until the coffee grounds are well soaked in water
- Use a lid for your container and place it in the fridge overnight. Ideally at least 12 hours. Again here you can find a big differences in the steeping timing that can reach 20 hours.
- Drain the coffee with a coffee filter in another container, where you can also keep for later the coffee that you are not gonna drink right away. Always closed the container, so that you do not loose the aroma
- Consume in the next 2-3 days and keep it stored in the fridge. You can keep it up to a week but I usually make coffee for maximum 3 days ahead. In the end it is easy to make. Why not having fresh coffee?
How to serve it? Just pour it in a glass and enjoy it!
