Can you make cold brew coffee but then gently heat it or maybe just heat the milk so that you can have hot coffee with the cold brew benefits?

In reply to Misty. Once brewed and strained, it will keep 5-7 days in the fridge.

Just a heads up, your ingredients read “a pitcher or a bowel” but I’m pretty sure you meant to say bowl. Lol.

Mmmm…I used your ratios and made this in my french press last night. This morning – I am truly amazed and grateful! I had no clue where to begin to dilute but used (probably) 1/3 cup of the concentrate and then filled the rest with almond milk – added some MTC – frothed it and OMG. Lovely. Just lovely. Perfect. Now I want to go buy more coffee beans…

BTW – if you can handle making a smaller batch, seriously – the french press is the way to go. I think mine is 32 oz.

A well known chain makes theirs 5lbs of coffee to 14 liters of cold water. then it sits for almost a day. It’s diluted to a 2 to 1 ratio of coffee to water.

Are you sure it’s supposed to be 2 cups of coffee to 4 cups of water? I’ve seen recipes that called for three or 4 tablespoons to five or 6 cups of water. I’m finding so much differing information and trying to figure this out. Thanks so much!

In reply to kaz. It's 2 cups. It's a highly concentrated mixture that should be diluted with a cream, milk, or water.

I want to make coffee kombucha but I would like to use cold brew instead of a hot brew and then it cooling down. Can I use this cold brew recipe for your coffee kombucha recipe? How do I incorporate the sugar for the coffee kombucha??? Thank you!!!!

Just a small tip: when making coldbrew coffee, make a little extra.
Use the extra coffee to pour into ice-cube containers and freeze them up.
When you serve coldbrew-coffee, use these coff-ice-cubes to keep it cool, even if they melt, they won’t make the coffee get that watery taste.

In reply to Amber L. Cold brewing intensifies the caffine content. I would start small and listen to your body. Congrats!

In reply to mary. I make it 1c grounds, a little bit of a finer ground, to 6 cups water. The recommened grounds to water ratio is 2 tbsp to 6oz water, but I'm a professional coffee drink maker for a big chain, and enjoy my homemade cold brew just as much as store bought.

In reply to Amber L. I would probably use at least 1/4 cup and add milk or coconut milk instead of water as the rest of the liquid.

I am wondering how much of this concentrate I should add to water and drink as the equivalent to 1 cup of regular coffee? I am pregnant and wish to stick to a limit of no more caffeine than is in 1 cup of regular coffee each day.

I followed the recommendation of another commenter there and added 2 tbsp concentrate to 1 cup of water. The result was very watery and weak, no taste at all. What am I doing wrong? I followed your recipe to a T.

In reply to Nicole. Try honey and cocoa powder or cacao powder and cook on low in small pot stirring frequently. Dilute with a little milk if needed.

Don’t know if I would try this method of making coffee, but I just do a drip brew of really strong coffee, and put it into a pitcher with half stevia and half honey or muscovado sugar. I make it really concentrated. Then when I want iced coffee, I just pour some over ice and top with some milk, half and half or coconut milk. Viola, iced coffee! I have also been roasting my own coffee beans. While I’m certainly no “master coffee roaster”, the coffee is AMAZING because when you roast it yourself, it’s so dang FRESH!! I can get all different varieties for about $5.50-7.50 a pound, and I love experimenting with different “roasts”. Truly customized coffee!! AND….I’m roasting it in an old popcorn popper!! Love it!! My garage smells like Maxwell House!!
