SPONSORED | HOW TO MAKE COLD BREW COFFEE AT HOME

· FOOD

Yesterday was International Coffee Day. In celebration I attempted to make a cold brew coffee at home. I’ve had a few of these at various coffee shops around downtown but I’m not a a regular cold brew drinker so it never occured to me to try a cold brew recipe.

DrinkTrade.com sent me a bag of Onyx Cold Brew beans. These are specifically made for at home cold brew recipes. According the the product description: Onyx cold brew are concentrated for iced milk beverages. Lower in acidity and high in sugar browning, this coffee reacts well with fats in dairy or tastes smooth and sweet on its own and is designed for cold extraction.

DrinkTrade.com is a mission focused coffee e-commerce company who unite top roasters around the U.S. directly with coffee drinker who want to experience the best. They offer over 400 roasters to order coffees. Exploring their website, DrinkTrade assists with pairing you with the perfect coffee. DrinkTrade also offers a subscription service so you’re never out of coffee.

To make my first batch of cold brew coffee, I started by grinding up 3/4 cup of coffee beans in my grinder. I set the grinder to Medium Fine. Once that was complete, I placed the coffee grinds in a mason jar and added 3 cups of filtered room temperature water. I sealed the mason jar and let it sit for about 12 hours. You don’t need to place the mason in the refrigerator just yet.

After 12 hours, I strained the coffee grinds out using a cheesecloth and a strainer so that I’m only left with the coffee concentrate. From there you can decide how you want to proceed with using the cold brew. In this case I poured my cold brew over ice and added almond milk.

Your leftover cold brew can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. For additional instructions, check out DrinkTrade’s step by step instructions for making their signature cold brew!
