Ready to make the best cold brew of your life? Let’s dive in.
Ingredients
- 3oz. (85g) of coarsely ground coffee
- 34 fl.oz. (1,000ml) of filtered water
- Ice cubes
- Optional: milk, cream, sweeteners, or flavored syrups (vanilla, caramel, hazelnut — you name it!). Also if you're the full summer aficionado why not test it with either ginger, lemon, coconut milk or even ice cream?
Instructions
1. Measure & Grind
Start with high-quality, freshly roasted coffee beans. Measure out 3oz. (85g) of beans and grind them to a coarse consistency, like sea salt. (Pro tip: A coarse grind prevents over-extraction and bitterness.)
2. Brew It Cold
Add the coffee grounds to your Ovalware Cold Brew Maker. Pour 34 fl.oz. (1,000ml) of cold, filtered water over the grounds, making sure they're evenly saturated.
3. Steep & Chill
Seal the cold brew maker and let it steep in your fridge for 12 to 18 hours. The longer you brew, the stronger and richer the flavor.
4. Filter & Pour
Once brewed, remove the filter from the Cold Brew Maker and discard the grounds. Fill a glass with ice, pour your cold brew over, and enjoy it straight — or customize it with a splash of milk, a drizzle of syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a summer twist.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Summer Cold Brew
- Experiment with Ratios: Like it stronger? Try a 1:10 coffee-to-water ratio. Prefer a lighter brew? 1:16 is your friend.
- Stay Fresh: Store your cold brew concentrate in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. (Though honestly, it probably won't last that long.)
- Get Creative: Blend your cold brew with ice for a coffee slushie, or add sparkling water and lemon for a refreshing summer coffee soda.
