Cold Brew Coffee is sweet, rich, and smooth. It's slightly less acidic than regular coffee and it is super easy to make.

I recently learned about Cold Brew Kitchen, which is is the first line of artisan coarse ground coffee specially curated for home cold brewing. They also sell whole bean blends as well as brewing accessories.
Through many years of trying different coffee blends, they have come up with the best blends to use for cold brewing. When you make a purchase through their site, you will receive a free filtering bag to make your cold brew coffee. (Offer not available through Amazon.)
This was my first time trying Cold Brew Coffee. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. The bag I received was the Elite Espresso blend. It had a deep, rich flavor.
Don't tell my husband, but this tasted way better than the coffee that he makes in our coffee maker! It was stronger, richer, and smoother than his, even a week after making it.
What I love about Cold Brewed Coffee is that it has less acidity than other brewed coffees because it is steeped for 12-24 hours. That's also what gives it a smooth, sweet, rich flavor.
Since I get heartburn if I drink coffee everyday, I was excited to try some. Not only did I not experience heartburn, but I found the whole process really convenient.
I am quite lazy when it comes to making coffee. If my husband doesn't make any, I will have a cup of tea instead.
Other Coffee Recipes
Instructions
To make cold brewed coffee, you soak some coarsely ground beans for 12-24 hours, then strain it through a fine mesh bag. You then dilute it with water or your favorite nut milk, unless you want a really strong caffeine buzz.
It can be served hot or cold. You can make either a small amount or a large amount of the concentrate, and have enough for the week. It will last 7-10 days.
When we go camping we usually make coffee by boiling it in a filter on the stove, or use instant. They both come out a bit weak to my liking.
That won't be an issue anymore. I will be making cold brewed coffee on our next road trip. After all, you only need a couple of mason jars, the coarsely ground coffee, and a fine mesh bag or a paper filter. How easy is that!

**Important! If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself. I learned that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues. So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life.

I like to make sun tea in the summer. I live in hot Tucson, Arizona, so the tea brews quickly!

This would be wonderful for summer iced coffees! I definitely have to give this a try (and give my poor old coffee maker a break!).
Willow Moon says
I liked the coffee hot or cold! Either way, it tastes smoother and richer then using my coffee maker.
