A Cold Brew Recipe From Dispatch Coffee
Homebrewed.
Ice coffee: summertime’s magic elixir.
Hot weather calls for cold coffee. While running to our favourite coffee shops is a ritual in itself, the art of a proper homemade coffee deserves exploration. Here, Dispatch breaks down the steps for the perfect cold brew, concentrated or on-the-go.
Concentrated Cold Brew (for multiple pours)
Ingredients:
Dispatch whole coffee beans
Instructions:
Grind 20 tablespoons of coffee to the consistency of breadcrumbs.
Place ground coffee in a 1-litre Mason jar or pitcher.
Introduce cold water and stir to coat all of the grinds evenly.
Cover to prevent fridge aromas from being absorbed into the coffee. Let it infuse for 16 hours.
After 16 hours, line a sieve with a paper filter and rinse the paper filter with some water.
Pour the cold infused coffee through the paper filter into another resealable receptacle. Do your best to filter out the grinds when you’re done. You now have a cold brew concentrate.
To serve, use one portion of concentrate to one portion of water, milk, or milk alternative. Serve in a cup with ice.
A flash brew can be made at home with an Aeropress.
