I finally know about cold coffee. Finally learned about the cold coffee that often appears in American travel and American TV series and drives Americans crazy. It's not just iced coffee with ice! In fact, it is cold coffee brewed with cold water and after 12 hours of contact with coffee powder, which is obviously stronger and fragrant, more caffeine and less bitter than ordinary hot coffee! I only soak once and I can obviously drink the difference, and I fell in love immediately. Especially when it's getting hotter, I think I'm going to start making cold coffee regularly, ♥♥♥.

Homemade coffee is fragrant, strong and pure

Why is cold coffee so popular in recent years? Its manufacturing principle is very simple, as long as it takes a long time to extract the essence of coffee powder with cold water, on the contrary, because the cold water is mild, it will only extract the aroma of coffee powder and will not force out the bitter taste of coffee bean impurities. the result is a cup of coffee that is stronger and sweeter. But on the other hand, because the water has been in contact with the coffee beans for a long time, it extracts more caffeine, so be careful not to drink too much!

It is not difficult to make homemade cold brewed coffee, the key lies in the ratio of coffee powder to water. I must say that I have spent a lot of time and energy studying and converting American units. In addition to the unit problem, some people are used to measuring coffee powder by weight, while others use capacity. Anyways I looked at six websites and calculated that the average is about 15g per glass of water (the American measuring cup is about 240ml, a little more than one meter cup). The proportion of coffee powder is about 1:16. Thank you for reminding netizens that many websites make cold coffee at 1:4, but the coffee made in this way is extremely concentrated! The recommended way to drink is to fill the cup with ice, pour it into iced espresso, and then season it with milk, water or sugar as you like. I've only tried the 1:16 ratio so far. It's a strong coffee (definitely stronger than a regular hot coffee), but it doesn't need to be diluted, just add a little milk and you can drink it.

Okay, iced coffee.

Ingredients: cold boiled water, coffee powder. In addition, you need a cloth mesh or coffee filter paper to filter coffee powder.

Practice:

1. The proportion is easy to remember, and there are three ways:

-use 15g for every cup of water in the American measuring cup. Coffee powder, I soak 3 cups, so use 45g. Coffee powder.

Coffee to water 1:4 → is made very espresso, with the cup filled with ice before drinking

Coffee to water 1:16 ratio → is ready to drink, as long as a little milk can be added

3. After 12 hours, pour the coffee into the cloth net or filter paper to filter the coffee powder, slowly wait for the coffee to flow out, do not press hard, the espresso will be finished! Please remember: this coffee is more concentrated than the normal American style and can be diluted with water, milk or ice cubes. Especially when soaking in 1:4, it is said that the concentration of caffeine is very amazing. You can't drink too much caffeine. You must fill it with ice before drinking it.-Safety first 😎.

Cold coffee practice

In addition, I would like to thank many netizens for asking me about the thickness of the coffee powder. I really forgot to share it without asking. The following can refer to the particle size of various coffee brewing methods, cold-soaked coffee "Cold Brew" can be seen that it is best to be thick and not too fine, because the water is in contact with coffee powder for a long time, if too fine, it will over-extract the bitter oil and impurities of coffee powder.

The coffee powder is rough.

Isn't it easy! Another advantage of cold brewed coffee is that the chemical composition of the coffee does not deteriorate because it has not been brewed in hot water, so it is not easy to go bad. It is said that it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two months. Many people put it in the refrigerator one pot at a time so that they can save time and money every morning! By the way, I would like to share my basic coffee drinking habits: in addition to milk, condensed milk is occasionally added instead of sugar. If you like iced coffee, you must try it! Even I fall in love with people who don't usually drink iced coffee. After sharing, 😉

Thank you for reading.
