About New Cold Brew Recipes

By Ann Parker


When it comes to a cold brew coffee, two brewing methods can be used, the one called the immersion method, and the ice drip method. Both are quite interesting and really simple, and each has its own characteristics. Among numerous cold brew recipes you will probably find something for yourself.

Immersion brewing method is something you can try today, because all you need is your favorite brand of coffee and water. Of course, the coffee beans should be freshly ground. So, put it in some large container, add eight time as much cold water and stir. This ratio can be changed. If you like stronger coffee, use different ratio instead, for example one to seven, or one to six.

You should simply combine water and coffee and let it sit for 15 to 20 hours in the container. After that, filter the mixture and place your favorite drink in a bottle. You can keep it in your refrigerator for several days. Resulting beverage is smooth, full of wonderful taste and aromatic, with adorable caramel aftertaste.

Other popular method is called ice drip. It takes less time, but more investment. You need to have special devices for preparing your cold brew coffee. This device consists of a few connected containers. The highest one contain iced water that drips over coffee grounds in container placed below. This process is a little bit faster than the previous one, but still really slow. It takes approximately ten hours, but you can use one to ten ratio here.

It's interesting to see how it is all done, but it really requires so much time. On the other hand, resulting coffee tastes incredibly good, with several layers of tastes, complex aromas and significantly higher acidity, compared to a previously described method. If you want to achieve the best results, good quality equipment is absolutely necessary.

In any case, once you make your favorite cold beverage, you can use it for designing wonderful icy drinks you will positively enjoy. Here are some recipes you can use for the inspiration. Nutty milk pleasure is easy to make and doesn't require too much time. For this recipe you need 50 grams almonds, 2 tbs brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, as well as 200ml water, 200 ml cold brew coffee and 100ml vanilla ice cream.

If you have roasted almonds, great, if not, it's really easy to roast them in your pan. It takes only a minute or two. Let them cool, and make some almond milk in your food processor, adding water in almonds. When you strain this mixture, add cinnamon and combine other ingredients together. Decorate with ice cream or whipped cream and cinnamon sticks.

Another delightful summer beverage is so called Caramel touch. This one is even easier to prepare. Caramelize two table spoons sugar and combine with 100 ml milk. You can use almond or rice milk as well. Strain the mixture and let it cool. Combine 300 ml cold brew coffee with 50 ml coffee liqueur. Fill two large glasses with ice. Add caramelized milk and coffee, decorate with ice cream or whipped milk.
