How cold brew coffee is Made ?
We can first choose coarsely ground coffee beans, because the coarser grind helps prevent over-extraction. Common choices include medium-dark roasted coffee beans, such as Colombian or Brazilian beans; use a bean grinder to grind the coffee beans into coarse particles, similar to the degree of coarse sea salt. Mix the ground coffee beans with cold water, generally in a ratio of 1:4 to 1:8 (coffee beans: water), and you can adjust the soaking time and ratio according to personal taste. Let the mixture soak at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Longer soaking will produce a richer flavor, but it is also more likely to be bitter. Use filter paper or a fine mesh filter to filter out the coffee grounds and make the coffee liquid clear. Finally, we add ice cubes or ice water to dilute, and you can also add sugar or milk according to personal preference.
