Cold extract / cold brewed coffee (COLD BREW)

The concept of cold-extracted coffee is similar to cold-brewed tea. During the extraction process, the beans are ground, injected with cold water, soaked in a low temperature for at least 12 hours, and then filtered out before drinking.

This cold bubble method will magnify the various flavors and aromas of coffee, reduce the acidity, and make the flavor cleaner and purer. The characteristic is that the more cold the drink, the better the flavor. Adding ice cubes is very beautiful. In the United States, it is more popular to add equal proportion of coconut water. Can drink a more pure coffee sweet flavor, each unique formula has its own flavor.

Materials

Qianjie Flower Butterfly individual coffee beans 15 grams, 125 grams of hot water, 100 grams of ice

Your favorite hand flushing equipment (Chemex, Hario V60, Beehouse Dripper, Kalita Wave, etc.)

Coffee containers (mugs, Chemex, glass jars, glass water bottles, etc.)

A piece of filter paper

A scale

A coffee mill

Method

Soak and rinse the filter paper with hot water and pour out the water.

Put 100 grams of ice at the bottom of the coffee container you have prepared.

Grind the coffee according to the medium thickness, the thickness is close to the sand on the beach, and the coffee powder is evenly ground by a better bean grinder.

Put the coffee on the moist filter paper, turn on the timer and start pouring fresh hot water into the coffee powder. The method is the same as when making hot coffee by hand: first steam a small amount of hot water on the dry coffee powder, just enough to completely wet the coffee powder, and then wait about 30 seconds. If the coffee is fresh enough, you will see the coffee powder start to bubble and release gas-this is releasing carbon dioxide.

After 30 seconds, continue the water injection in three stages, the ratio is 1:8, so the water injection should be slow. Ideally, all the water is injected in about 2 minutes. Just add ice when you drink it.
