COLD COFFEE

A cold coffee is brewed in just the same way as a filter coffee… but consumed cold. Chilled coffees are all the rage nowadays. In summer cold coffees are the cool drink to be seen with!

Hot brew

“Japanese-style” iced coffees are one of a kind, in that they are brewed hot and consumed iced! In other words, the coffee is cooled right away, ready for drinking.

Cold brew

Coffee obtained by cold brewing is very different from hot-brewed coffee. There is no sourness to speak of; the coffee is well rounded, sweet, even syrupy. Coffee shops often sell coffee produced by this method in attractively labeled bottles.

The classic cold-brew method

1 The day before, place the ground coffee in a lidded container, pour in water, taking care to ensure that all the grounds are thoroughly wetted, then put the lid on. Leave to steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 16 hours.

2 The next day, lay a cloth filter in a sieve and place the sieve over a pitcher. Filter the coffee and add ice cubes.
