Notes
Optional Variations
While I’m a fan of regular ol’ cold brew, there are a few different ways you can customize your morning joe. Here are a few variations to consider:- Make a homemade cold brew concentrate by doubling the amount of grounds you use. This will allow you to make double the amount of coffee using up the same small amount of space in the fridge. To serve, simply dilute the homemade coffee concentrate with water until the desired strength is achieved.
- Infuse your cold brew with spices to create your own seasonal brews. Consider whole spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom pods, and star anise. Feel free to get creative and try items like pink peppercorns or dried citrus peels, too! I suggest reading the backs of your favorite infused coffee blends to start compiling ideas.
