New And Exciting Cold Brew Recipes

By Ann Parker


There are two main cold brew methods, immersion and ice drip method. Each of these methods has its own advantages, and which one you will choose depends on your personal taste. In any case, resulting coffee will be a great base for creating wonderful drinks and desserts, and here will also be some really tasty cold brew recipes.

Immersion brewing method is something you can try today, because all you need is your favorite brand of coffee and water. Of course, the coffee beans should be freshly ground. So, put it in some large container, add eight time as much cold water and stir. This ratio can be changed. If you like stronger coffee, use different ratio instead, for example one to seven, or one to six.

You should simply combine water and coffee and let it sit for 15 to 20 hours in the container. After that, filter the mixture and place your favorite drink in a bottle. You can keep it in your refrigerator for several days. Resulting beverage is smooth, full of wonderful taste and aromatic, with adorable caramel aftertaste.

Ice drip method is simple as well, but it requires special equipment. The whole system consists of one water container with water drip regulator, one container for ground coffee and a jar under it. This system uses different ratio, usually one to ten, depending on your personal taste. You will need some patience here as well, because the whole process may take up to ten hours.

So, the water will drip on ground coffee very slowly, maybe one drip per second, for hours and hours. Resulting coffee has higher acidity, more distinctive aroma and a wide variety of flavors, with floral and fruity notes included. Takes some time to learn how to make it perfect and you have to invest in the equipment.

In any case, once you make your favorite cold beverage, you can use it for designing wonderful icy drinks you will positively enjoy. Here are some recipes you can use for the inspiration. Nutty milk pleasure is easy to make and doesn't require too much time. For this recipe you need 50 grams almonds, 2 tbs brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, as well as 200ml water, 200 ml cold brew coffee and 100ml vanilla ice cream.

Roast the almonds in the pan for a few seconds, let them cool and then put them in your food processor. Process them and add 200 ml water. Filter the mixture and combine with brown sugar and cinnamon. Add your previously prepared coffee and vanilla ice cream. Decorate with cinnamon stick and enjoy.
