7 Cold Brew Preparations

Like so many other novelties, you know that Cold Brew coffee originates from the United States, although it existed long before Americans used it. So you know it's a coffee prepared with cold water. For this reason, it takes longer to prepare, as the coffee must be left to rest in cold water for at least 12 hours, although experts recommend 24 hours. This coffee preserves better and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three weeks before enjoying it. To prepare it, you don't need any special equipment, just a coffee grinder, a container, a cloth strainer or paper filter, and the ingredients of your choice.
