Cold Brew Coffee: Anything but cold coffee!

Connoisseurs brew their coffee recently cold - from a homemade coffee concentrate. Making the concentrate is not difficult at all and in the refrigerator it keeps its aroma well for two weeks. The infused "Cold Brew Coffee" is particularly low in acidity - and therefore digestible even for people with a sensitive stomach.

For the production of Cold Brew Coffee enough utensils, which are probably in every household. But if you want to be a real cold-brew nerd, you can find the best coffee grinders, filters and carafes on the internet, for example at www.toddycafe.com

How to prepare Cold Brew Coffee

For the coffee concentrate you need one liter of cold water, 200 grams of coffee (filter coffee roast, coarsely ground!), A large enough, wide-mouthed container for the coffee and a spoon for stirring.

Pour the ground coffee into the large container, pour in the cold water and stir well. Then cover with cling film and leave at room temperature for twelve hours.

After the twelve hours of rest, the mixture is filtered. Depending on the grinding degree of the coffee, it may make sense to pour it through a hair sieve beforehand to filter out coarse particles, and then to filter through a conventional infusion filter. The coffee concentrate thus obtained can now be stored in the refrigerator for up to four weeks. As the aroma suffers significantly over time, it should be used up within two weeks.

All you need to do to make a fresh coffee is hot water: mix a portion of concentrate and two parts of hot water for a strong coffee. For a thinner coffee, choose the ratio one part concentrate / three parts hot water.
