Making cold brew is wonderful for iced coffee as well as cold, brewed iced tea and lemonade. It also makes an iced coffee concentrate which is wonderful in cold water drinks like iced tea and iced lemonade. The process gives you a stronger, more concentrated, and more flavorful iced coffee than you can normally get from hot brewed coffee.
Making cold brew can be done on your regular drip coffee machine just like making hot coffee. You can also use an iced cold brew system if you have one. Cold brew systems can be made with cold water, ice cubes, and a filter. Cold brew systems are more expensive and are designed for home use. They can also be used for other cold drinks as well, like iced smoothies. The cold water improves the flavors of the cold brew and makes it more refreshing. If you want to make cold brew iced tea, you will need a French press.
The best coffee beans to use for cold brew are medium-to-dark roasted beans and they should be stored in a cool, dry dark place with minimal air exposure. We like to use Costa Rican beans and keep them in the refrigerator.
