The new craze in coffee is cold brew coffee. Cold brew coffee yields a very smooth, less bitter, less acidic tasting coffee. Cold brew has the same roast and grind as the coffee that you brew at home, except it requires a long extraction of cold (basically not hot) water. Because the process is somewhat lengthy, purchasing cold brew in a coffee shop is expensive, but it’s not difficult. Check out this recipe for a Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate by Laura Ryan that won’t break your bank.
