1. Measure and grind coffee beans

2. Add Water

Instead, use the back of a metal spoon (to prevent any sticking) to press down on any grounds floating near the top, ensuring that all the grounds have been submerged.

3. Wait 12 hours or more

此步骤是最简单，但也是最令人沮丧的。现在，您需要让酿造在室温下坐不少于12小时（5）。Although you want your coffee now, do不是rush this process, or else you will end up with a decanter full of slightly coffee-flavored water.

In comparison to the standard hot brewing methods, cold brewing replaces heat with time to achieve an adequate extraction (6）。Letting your grounds soak for half a day will release all the flavors and oils trapped inside your beans.

4.倒入和过滤

现在那t you’ve survived the long hours waiting for your cold brew to finish, it is ready to decant. Start by placing the French press’ top on, and pushing the plunger down only a few inches, allowing it some stability for the upcoming pour.

With the screen in place you can now pour your fresh brew into the large, sealable container. If you’ve ever used a French press before, you know the metal screen isn’t the best at keeping out all the sediment from your brew; therefore, you may want to use a secondary filter. You can use almost any pour over dripper for this – or you can loosely tie a piece of cheesecloth around the opening of your container and pour through it.

5.享受你的黑冷啤酒!

Whichever way you go, one filter or two, once you’ve decanted your brew you are now ready to enjoy. When preparing your cup, remember that冷啤酒非常集中,你的商店uld dilute it with a few ice cubes and a splash (or two) of water.

现在那t your refreshment is ready, sit back, embrace the sun, and start planning what you’ll do on this fine summer day! Orrr…. use your cold brew concentrate for something exciting, like这些冰咖啡食谱之一。

冷冲泡咖啡虽然耗时，但它是最简单，最通用的啤酒方法之一，任何人都可以在家中制作。而且，您现在知道，您不需要冷冲泡咖啡机即可创建它！
