What fruits are suitable for making cold extract coffee specialties? What is the appropriate ratio of black coffee to milk?

Generally speaking, the cold extract in the coffee shop will recommend pure drink, because only in this way can you feel the flavor of the coffee itself and the unique taste brought by the low temperature extraction. However, as the most popular coffee in the home party, there are actually many innovative ways to play Lengjie so far, and when adding different ingredients, it can also show a different flavor.

Today, Qianjie will briefly summarize the various hidden drinking methods of cold extract and see which one is your dish.

1. Add fruit

Coffee often has its own "fruit flavor", and many fruits are also suitable for low temperature soaking, so adding fruit in cold extraction is very common.

In the flavor wheel, there are many descriptors of fruit, such as citrus, berries, dried fruits, etc., as well as blueberries, strawberries, cherries, grapefruit, oranges, apples, peaches, pears, pineapples and other distinctive categories. Therefore, there are many coffee beans suitable for cold extraction of fruits, such as Sakui 8.0, citrus-flavored fruit, strawberry sugar with sweet raisins, sweet and sour claw with grapes, Kenyan coffee with black plum juice, etc., which are not only suitable for soaking alone, but also can be combined with various fruits to form a new pair of CP.

In addition to coffee beans, Qianjie thinks it is also important to choose the right fruit to go with it. When picking fruit, we need to see if it is suitable for soaking for a long time (preferably overnight), and whether it can release a compatible aroma when soaked in coffee. From the experience of the street in the past, if we want to make the fruits refreshing and unobtrusive, it is recommended to choose varieties with sweet, juicy and rich aroma, such as Jufeng grapes, peaches, litchi, and strawberries, cherries and oranges in season. For more details, you can review our article last year, "what is the best fruit for cold coffee?" ".

2. Dried flowers

Although there are many cold extraction coffee beans to choose from, because they are slowly extracted in cold water, its flavor is still relatively simple compared with hot hand brewing. The witty little friend thought of adding other excipients to provide some unique aroma for the coffee, such as the dried petals, which are favored by a lot of women.

Considering that the intervention factors of cold extraction are few, and the whole process is soaked in a static environment, if you want the fragrant smell to enter the coffee and give it a touch of freshness, it is best to choose a variety that is obvious and easy to extract, such as sweet-scented osmanthus, jasmine and roses, which are not only easy to come into contact with in life, but also more compatible with coffee flavor. However, although this kind of dried flowers is full of aroma, but the taste is thin, so it is best to match the shallow roasted coffee beans that point to the flower and fruit notes, so that the two can complement each other. For specific operations, please refer to Qianjie's "the most popular special coffee in autumn, at a glance!" ".

3. Add plum

As a traditional Chinese snack, preserved plum tastes salty, sour and fresh. It can feel rich fruit aroma and sweet taste in the mouth. It can not only be cooked into creative dishes, but also can be made into a variety of special or hot cold drinks. Qianjie once added five preserved plums to the cold extract of a pot of sunflower butterflies, and after a night of bubbling, the coffee unexpectedly extended a compound aroma like perilla, raspberry and cherry in the original citrus acid and tea feeling.

In addition to preserved plums, I believe you can find many other types of preserves in your snacks. Use your imagination and let them try to combine them with coffee to see if the result is surprise or joy.

For example, every time Qianjie buys herbal tea, the shopkeeper will give away a bag of nine-system tangerine peel, which is so salty that you shiver at the first time, and then the tip of the tongue begins to feel the sweet and sour of preserved fruit, and soon it is full of tangerine peel aroma, which is both healthy and moisturizing the throat. When it was added to the cold extract of a pot of dividing line manor navel on the front street, it was a different flavor, with rich layers of blackcurrant juice with citrus and preserved fruit flavors.

4. Match with milk

When it comes to cold milk extraction, there are generally two ways to drink it. The first is to change the water into milk to directly soak the coffee powder "article review", and then filter the dregs, so that the iced coffee is mellow and sticky, and can have both the smoothness of milk and the fragrance of beans. It should be noted that milk is rich in protein and milk fat, so it is easy to grab the taste of coffee, so it is more suitable to be made with beans baked in medium or above, and the taste will be fuller.

The other is the cold extract mixed with fresh milk to drink "article review". The addition of fresh milk can not only soften the impurity caused by the low temperature extraction of coffee powder, but also add a touch of softness and smoothness to the cold extraction, making the coffee better to taste.

5. Add coconut water

Coconut water is rich in various amino acids, vitamins and minerals. It is sweet and salty in the mouth, relieving thirst and relieving summer heat, and the color is transparent and clear. It has always been a good partner with iced coffee, and cold extraction is no exception.

Qianjie has tried to mix 100ml iced coconut water and 100ml strawberry sugar cold extract (powder ratio is 1:10) at 1:1 to make a cup of coconut cold extract coffee, each mouthful of raisins and strawberry fudge sour and sweet, but also coconut fragrance, old and comfortable.
