New And Exciting Cold Brew Recipes

By Ann Parker


Cold brew coffee is a big hit this summer. You can prepare this interesting and exciting beverage yourself, using one of these methods, immersion or ice drip method. Both are quite simple, but result in different acidity levels. In any case, resulting taste will positively surprise you as well as inspire you for creating great cold brew recipes for tasty summer drinks.

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 method is simple as well, but it requires special equipment. The whole system consists of one water container with water drip regulator, one container for ground coffee and a jar under it. This system uses different ratio, usually one to ten, depending on your personal taste. You will need some patience here as well, because the whole process may take up to ten hours.

It's interesting to see how it is all done, but it really requires so much time. On the other hand, resulting coffee tastes incredibly good, with several layers of tastes, complex aromas and significantly higher acidity, compared to a previously described method. If you want to achieve the best results, good quality equipment is absolutely necessary.

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.

Roast the almonds in the pan for a few seconds, let them cool and then put them in your food processor. Process them and add 200 ml water. Filter the mixture and combine with brown sugar and cinnamon. Add your previously prepared coffee and vanilla ice cream. Decorate with cinnamon stick and enjoy.

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.
