About New Cold Brew Recipes

By Ann Parker


Cold brew coffee is a big hit this summer. You can prepare this interesting and exciting beverage yourself, using one of these methods, immersion or ice drip method. Both are quite simple, but result in different acidity levels. In any case, resulting taste will positively surprise you as well as inspire you for creating great cold brew recipes for tasty summer drinks.

Immersion brewing method is really simple, but requires quite a lot of your time. It produces delicious coffee, sweet without bitter notes, well balanced and with low acidity levels. All you need is a large glass container, freshly ground coffee and water. And you will need some patience, of course. Usual ratio is one to eight, but this depends on your personal taste. Some people rather use one to six ratio instead, to make it all a little bit stronger.

After eighteen to twenty hours, you should strain the content of your container and you will get fully aromatic, fully balanced, incredibly tasty dark beverage, just perfect for making wonderful summer cocktails. It takes some time to make it, but the good thing is that it won't lose flavor if kept in refrigerator for several days.

Ice drip requires special device. Today, there are some simple devices that can be bought quite cheaply, but without precise drip regulation, you won't be able to achieve the same results. Anyway, the whole point is that water should slowly drip on container filled with ground coffee, passing through it, into the jar. This process may last for maybe ten hours or so.

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.

So, now you have the base for your tasty summer cocktails. Maybe you should try this one. It is called Nutty milk pleasure, and it's not so hard to make it. Two table spoons of brown sugar, water, approximately 200 ml, some cinnamon powder, 200 ml of your cold infusion, and maybe 100 grams of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream instead, depending on your personal taste.

If you don't have roasted almonds, roast them yourself. Simply put them into the pan and roast for a short time, to release the flavor. Then, ground the almonds and combine with water, strain the mixture, add other ingredients and put some ice cream on the top. You can also put one cinnamon stick on, as decoration.

Caramel touch will be a nice surprise. You will need two tbs sugar, 100 ml milk, 50 ml coffee liqueur and 300 ml cold brew. Caramelize sugar in the pan and pour milk over it. Let it cool and filter the mixture. Combine all the ingredients and serve in a large glass filled with ice. You can also add some ice cream on the top if you like.
