If you're a true lover of hot coffee, the summer month can be really tough. The solution? Switch to cold-brewing coffee so you can still enjoy your daily cup of joe. If you're planning to batch prepare or plan to share with friends, here are some ideas you may find useful. Read on for some useful information about cold brewing and how to bottle it.
Here are some suggestions on how to serve cold brew coffee.
Storing in plastic bottles
Plastic bottles are cheaper than glass bottles and are less likely to break. However, they are made of certain chemicals that may increase the likelihood of leaching or extraction of certain nutrients. Plastic can also affect the taste of cold brew coffee because it contains an acetal liner and because it is more permeable to carbon dioxide than glass bottles, so it may affect the freshness of cold brew coffee.
Storing in glass bottles
Unlike plastic bottles, cold brew glass bottles are fragile and more expensive. But they are more suitable for bottling cold brew coffee because they do not contain phthalates, polycarbonates, and chemicals such as BPA or BPA that can cause leaching. These bottles also do not affect the flavor of the cold brew and are healthier to use when keeping cold brew in the refrigerator.
Compared to plastic bottles, glass bottles keep cold brew fresher for longer and maintain a fresher taste of cold brewing. There are a variety of types that you can use to store cold brew concentrates, and this includes small Mason jars with lids. Glass bottles with lids are also ideal. Bottles with a coarse cotton cloth to cover the top are also good choices as the coarse cotton cloth can also act as a filter. Secure the coarse cotton cloth with a rubber hand so it does not come off.
How to make cold-brew coffee?
Grind the coffee beans according to the cold brew ratio.
You need to grind the coffee beans to a coarse grind and according to the expected cold brew ratio.
Add the flour.
Place the coffee grounds in a large water jar and pour in cold or room-temperature water. Stir for one to two minutes until the grounds are completely mixed. This allows the coffee beans to absorb the water, which is what others call coffee bloom.
Let the mixture soak.
Let the mixture steep for 12 to 24 hours, but this depends on how strong you want your coffee to be. The longer it steeps, the stronger the coffee will be. Be sure not to steep it too long to avoid mold growth.
Filter the cold brew mixture.
Place a strainer or sieve lined with a coarse cotton cloth over a large bowl or another jar. Then, strain the cold extract mixture to remove any small particles.
Store cold extract concentrate in the refrigerator.
Cold brew may spoil, so be sure to store it in the refrigerator. It will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 14 days, preferably no longer than a week if you plan to add toppings to the batch.
Cold brew espresso can be used to make iced or hot coffee, cold brew sodas, cold brew cocktails, and cold brew cocktails.
Conclusion
In hot weather, cold brew coffee is your usual cup of refreshing coffee. You can have a cup conveniently on the go or while traveling. Cold brew coffees are usually bottled in plastic or glass bottles. However, the latter is the preferable way to bottle cold brew because they do not affect the taste of the beer and are healthier because they do not contain chemicals such as BPA.
