Cold brewing is a technique of brewing coffee in which ground coffee beans are soaked for more than 20 hours in room temperature water. Cold Brewed Coffee, also known as Cold Brew, is the coffee concentrate left over from the brewing process. It’s also one of the simplest ways to make coffee at home, as it’s quite easy to accomplish and requires no special equipment. To make freshly ground coffee, simply steep it in water overnight. The best thing about Cold Brew is that you can brew it in large batches and keep it in the fridge for up to 15 days.
These drinks come in a wide range of flavours, from chocolatey goodness to crisp mint, so whatever your tastes, you’ll find something on this list to satisfy them.
