New And Exciting Cold Brew Recipes

By Ann Parker


When it comes to a cold brew coffee, two brewing methods can be used, the one called the immersion method, and the ice drip method. Both are quite interesting and really simple, and each has its own characteristics. Among numerous cold brew recipes you will probably find something for yourself.

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 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 have roasted almonds, great, if not, it's really easy to roast them in your pan. It takes only a minute or two. Let them cool, and make some almond milk in your food processor, adding water in almonds. When you strain this mixture, add cinnamon and combine other ingredients together. Decorate with ice cream or whipped cream and cinnamon sticks.

Another delightful summer beverage is so called Caramel touch. This one is even easier to prepare. Caramelize two table spoons sugar and combine with 100 ml milk. You can use almond or rice milk as well. Strain the mixture and let it cool. Combine 300 ml cold brew coffee with 50 ml coffee liqueur. Fill two large glasses with ice. Add caramelized milk and coffee, decorate with ice cream or whipped milk.
