Is it okay to make iced coffee directly from milk? Many novices want to DIY cold coffee at home, but for a while they are not used to the mellow and strong black coffee and want to be mixed with milk, but they are afraid that the proportion will not affect the taste and flavor. Then, at this time will use milk to make milk extract coffee idea, directly use milk to extract the flavor of coffee, can avoid diluting coffee flavor, but also can mix their own proportion to produce a unique milk extract coffee flavor. However, as a category of dairy products, milk extract coffee also has a common problem-it is not easy to preserve. Ordinary milk can also be used as milk extract coffee, but how long can milk extract coffee last? Qianjie Coffee will introduce it to you today.

Cold coffee is the most fashionable drink in summer in recent years. In a hot and dry summer day, holding a cup of cold extract, bright water droplets precipitate from the wall of the cup, and I feel moved by just thinking about it.

I was not only moved by the visual coolness, but also liked its taste-clean and refreshing, without losing rich layers. Unlike traditional high-temperature-extracted coffee, cold-extracted coffee, a coffee drink without high-temperature extraction, is more "authentic" in taste.

The process of low temperature extraction can reduce the bitterness of coffee by 2 ppm 3, and small molecular substances can be extracted more easily, so it is easy for us to taste the flavor of coffee beans, such as the smell of flowers. Without smoke and bitterness, this cup of coffee appears elegant but full of flavor.

Use hot milk instead of hot water to brew, instead of soaking in hot water before adding milk.

If you brew it directly with hot milk, the latte will be more rich.

The recommended temperature for hot milk is 70 degrees.

If you use room temperature milk to brew, you will not immediately drink a cup of delicious latte, it will take longer to extract; in summer, we can soak it with room temperature milk, and then put it in the refrigerator for one night, about ten hours later, we can drink an iced latte!

Milk can be full-fat or skim.

Because the latte made in this way does not need to be foamed, it is OK to brew it with skim milk. Just choose the milk according to your usual drinking habits.

The amount of milk is recommended between 140ml~180ml.

The coffee brewed in this way will be within a range that everyone thinks is very good, of course, you can also choose to put more milk or less according to your own preference.

The coffee filter bag after milk extraction can be soaked in hot water again.

If you go to brew in this way, you will find it delicious and not wasteful. We also gave it a try, but it has a different flavor. If you are interested, you can also have a try!

Coffee with Milk extract:

First of all, you have to have a bean grinder. I choose the one that makes tea bags if you don't weave cloth bags.

Beans choose deep-baked or Italian mix, the fineness of grinding is mocha pot / Italian, which must be finer than hand flushing.

Milk chooses skim milk, and the fat molecules in milk easily affect coffee extraction. By comparison, I think skim milk tastes better than full fat.

Put the powder into a non-woven bag and the ratio of powder to water is 1: 11: 1: 13. Those who like the strong taste of milk can choose 1:14.

The extraction time is 12-16 hours. You can shake it for 12 hours, mix some extracted coffee with milk, and then stand still for another 4 hours.

The milk extract coffee made in this way is not only fragrant and silky, but also the coffee flavor is exactly the same. As for the preservation time of milk extract coffee, which is most related to everyone, the last mention of Qianjie coffee is that ordinary sterilized milk can be kept in a refrigerated state for a long time. Even if it is made into milk extract coffee in Kaifeng, it will not easily deteriorate for three or five days when refrigerated. However, if fresh milk is used, its shelf life is short without disinfection and sterilization, and it is easy to deteriorate after cold extraction fermentation in Kaifeng, so the milk extract coffee made of fresh milk is suitable for drinking on the same day, and cold storage is not recommended.
