Cold brew coffee is slowly brewed in cold water, which results in a smoother cup. Iced coffee is simply brewed coffee that has been cooled, and then poured over ice. I make cold brew often at home - it’s very easy to make, so I like to always have some in the fridge for when my coffee cravings hit.Ĭold brew is different from iced coffee.
7.0.0.1 I’d love to connect with you on social media! Find me on Facebook or Instagram where I post daily healthy eating and lifestyle inspiration.Ĭold brew coffee is all the rage at coffee shops these days! In the summer, it certainly always sounds refreshing. 6.1.3 Cold Brew to Enjoy as Hot Coffee*. I left it in the fridge for 2-3 days though and I found the orange mellowed out quiet a bit and mixed wonderfully with the flavors in the cold to create delightfully refreshing and smooth citrus-filled cold brew. I tried it right after filtering and it was good, but the orange taste was just a little harsh for me. I’ve found this coffee actually gets better with time too. Once the coffee has been filtered, it is ready to enjoy. Filtering the cold brew through a v60 filter I tend to use my v60 filters since they are most readily available for me. You can use a cheese cloth or any paper filter (v60, Chemex, etc.) to filter the coffee and orange pieces. 12 hours works, but I’ve found waiting just a bit longer to get closer to the 24 hour mark makes cold brew smoother.Īfter the coffee has had time to brew, you are ready to filter out the oranges and coffee grounds. (You can easily adjust the recipe to make more or less, but make sure you keep to a 1:7 coffee to water ratio.) Be sure to pour the water slowly over the grounds to make sure all of them are completely submerged. In a large container, dump the coffee, oranges and 700 grams of water. Next, slice two oranges into eight pieces each. Coarsely ground coffee, ready for cold brew You start with 100 grams of coarsely ground coffee. The process of making the cold brew is incredibly simple too. You can experiment with the size of the orange slices too (the smaller the slices the stronger the orange flavor will be). You could use anywhere between one to two oranges based on how strong you want the orange flavor to be in the cold brew. I settled on 1 ½ oranges (cut into 9 pieces), but this is really flexible. I experimented a lot with the amount of orange to use in the cold brew. The best option for this specific recipe is a coffee that has some citrus notes already in it that the orange can play off of. When you add in the orange too, those coffees seem to get completely overwhelmed. I love the light, delicate and fruity notes from many African coffees, but they don’t seem to hold up as well for cold brew. I’ve found Central/South American coffees work best. When selecting a coffee for cold brew, I try to choose a coffee with a bigger body and stronger, earthier/chocolaty flavor notes. Picking the Right CoffeeĬertain coffees are better suited for cold brew and that is especially true when adding the orange into the equation. It plays off of the existing flavors in the coffee and adds a nice, refreshing twist that is perfect for a summer afternoon. If added at the right proportions and paired with the right coffee, the orange is a wonderful addition to the cold brew. I experimented a bit with different coffees and fruits and found one that works really well. I started to think if I could maybe combine the two drinks into one-fruit-infused cold brew. are all great additions to water any time of year, but especially on a hot summer day. Cucumber & watermelon, lemon & lime, orange, etc. Two of my favorite summer drinks are cold brew (of course) and fruit-infused water.
