We love coffee with all our hearts! We are so in love with it that we will try every single combination we think might work. Sometimes, we get kind of bored of the traditional ways to serve the coffee, or we’re just too hot to drink a beverage as hot as a regular cup of joe! That’s why we try the cold coffee and their different styles. You want to know more about cold coffee and get the secrets of the baristas have about it? Then this article is just for you!

The cold brew basics

When you hear about cold-brewed coffee, you must think we’re talking about coffee with some ice-cubes or a smoothie. But no, we’re talking about literally cold-brewed coffee. You will only need to have coarsely ground coffee, water at room temperature, plus a bit of patience to make these fantastic beverages.

Why patience? Well, the infusion will have to sit there for a few hours, harnessing every significant bit of your preferred blend. After having your cold-brewed coffee, you could make a lot of creative variations for you to enjoy this concoction. So, what are you waiting to try this recipe at home in a cheap and fun way?

Ingredients you will need to make the cold-brewed coffee:

Half a pound of ground coffee.

One gallon of room temperature water. If you want a stronger brewed coffee, you can use half a gallon.

A jar or a French press, if you have one.

A filter.

A lot of time and patience, which is the most important part of this tutorial.

Once you get all your ingredients and instruments, you will need to prepare yourself to wait in between 12 and 24 hours to get your cold-brewed coffee. I swear, it’s worth the waiting time!

First of all, you need to pour your ground coffee into the jar or press you’re using. Then, you’re going to drain the water in the pot. Let the coffee rest in the fridge or outside of it for 12 or 24 hours.

When the time is right, you need to get your coffee jar out of the fridge and prepare everything to filter it into another jar. You probably will need to filter it like 3 or 4 times to get your coffee clean of the coffee’s lumps. And just in case you’re wondering what can you do with the grounded coffee, you can put it in a composter or use it as a facial mask to clean your skin.

What are the secret tips from the baristas?

You’re ready now to make your creativity explode. You can do a lot of combinations with the coffee. We have the typical mixture: milk and sugar, which adds a layer of richness to the mix. However, you can add much more ingredients to your cold brewed coffee. For example, when I prepare this kind of coffee for me, I’m used to add vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate syrup to the basic option of the cold brewed coffee with milk and sugar. That makes it extra delicious!

As far as baristas go, they have their secret tips that I'll share with you so you can make an incredible cup of cold brewed coffee every time!

Get the coarser coffee. That will help the infusion be softer and more delicate.

Wait in between 16 to 18 hours, that's the ideal time to get a perfectly velvety product.

There's not a one-size-fits-all cold brew method, try them all to see what's best for you.

If you don't want to wait, you can try Japanese cold brew, but it takes a while to master that art.

Combine cold brewed coffee with rich flavors to get incredible variations, cayenne pepper, cocoa, honey, even some fruity liquor do the trick.

Rely on your instinct, and trial and error. The more you make it, the better you'll understand what you love.

Don't go cheap when it comes to your coffee: cold brew will taste amazing if it’s made with high-quality beans. Otherwise, it will just feel bland.

Even if your favorite barista does a great job, now that you know the secrets you can make an excellent coffee at home in a creative way. It’s just a matter of creativity and curiosity to try new recipes and ideas to prepare it.
