What is cold coffee?

Cold Brew Coffee first started in the United States, through instagram and other social software slowly affected Japan, European countries, with the official launch of Starbucks "Cold Brew Coffee", cold coffee finally spread all over the world.

As the name suggests, cold-extracted coffee is coffee extracted with cold water, which is a pure "iced coffee". Similar to cold-brewed tea, a more mild and balanced coffee is obtained by long-time and low-temperature extraction.

Cold extract coffee vs iced coffee

Usually we often talk about iced coffee, is hot coffee extracted at high temperature, made by rapid cooling of ice cubes, ice water and so on. Cold-extracted coffee, as mentioned above, is pure "iced coffee" extracted at low temperature for a long time.

Coffee without high temperature extraction inhibits the release of tannin and caffeine from coffee beans, resulting in a more mild and sweet cold extracted coffee, which is not too sour or too astringent.

And because the production principle of cold-extracted coffee is very simple, you only need to grasp the ratio of powder to water and soak for a long time (more than 12 hours) to get a cup of cold and refreshing coffee, which is loved by many office workers. The night before, I was grinding and brewing at home, refrigerated overnight, and I could drink iced coffee when I got up the next day.

In addition, it is said that cold coffee can be preserved for a longer time without losing its flavor. In short, cold coffee is definitely good news for black coffee lovers.

Self-made cold extract coffee

/ / Food ingredients (450ml)

Coffee beans 40g

Cold water 500ml

The proportion of ★ powder and water is higher than the usual proportion of hand flushing. After proficiency, you can follow your own taste. In the diet, 40g beans, 500ml water, when I drink, I will also add ice, so it is relatively strong. If no ice is added, it can be reduced to 30g:500ml.

When ★ shoots recipes, I use lightly roasted Alida beans, so the coffee is lighter. This bean has been idle by me for a long time because it is a little too sour. But the cold way makes its sour taste less obvious.

/ / how to do it

❶ weigh coffee beans / powder take coffee beans and grind them into powder. The extraction time of fine grinding is shorter, while that of coarse grinding is longer.

❷ brew the folded filter paper with cold water, put it into the teapot strainer, pour the coffee powder into the pot, and then slowly pour the cold water into the pot.

There are many ways to brew ★, you can also use a pressure kettle, just press it. Or the coffee powder is directly flushed and filtered before drinking. I just made simple use of the tools I had at hand.

❸ refrigerated extraction put the coffee in the refrigerator overnight, waiting for the extraction to be complete.
