Easy Cold Brewed Coffee Recipe

Have you tried  a cold brewed coffee recipe? It produces a smooth, less acidic coffee concentrate that is perfect for cold coffee drinks. If you have been trying to recreate coffeehouse drinks at home and are disappointed in the quality, you should try this easy coffee brewing method.

I first learned about cold brewing from The Pioneer Woman and her method was confirmed by my barista sister. All you have to do is combine the coffee concentrate with milk or water and your choice of flavored syrup or sweetener. (You can also make hot coffee drinks; just add warm milk or water to the cold concentrate.)

I make a pitcher of coffee concentrate every few weeks in the summer and enjoy cold coffee drinks for a fraction of the coffeehouse price. A few of my favorite coffee drinks made with this coffee concentrate include: lattes, iced Vietnamese cafe latte, Japanese coffee jelly “Frappuccino” and coffee jelly latte, and Hong Kong Yuanyang.

Coffee Lifesaver

I’m not kidding when I say that this recipe (made into Vietnamese coffee, recipe below) got me through my second year of graduate school… one needs a lot of coffee when attending graduate school as the mother of a first and third grader!

I hope you try cold brewing coffee and sample a few of these recipes!
