Introduction to Cold Brew Coffee and Recipes
Using Your KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Making Cold-Brewed Coffee
The classic cold brew coffee brewing method uses coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water for 12-24 hours. This no-heat brew method produces a smooth, balanced flavor that's less bitter. The KitchenAid Cold Brew Coffee Maker makes roughly 28 oz (840 mL) of coffee concentrate. To serve your cold brew beverage, we recommend using a 1:3 coffee to water/milk ratio. This means you add 1 part coffee concentrate to 3 parts water or milk.
For best results, use coarsely ground coffee as shown below:
| Recipes Using Coffee Concentrate | ||
|---|---|---|
|
2 oz (60 mL) coffee concentrate |
+ | Cold coffee: 6 oz (180 mL) cold water or milk, add ice/sweeteners to taste |
| + | Hot coffee: 6 oz (180 mL) hot water, add milk/sweeteners to taste | |
Adjust the amount of coffee concentrate to achieve the desired taste.
Making Cold Brewed Tea
The Cold Brew Coffee Maker can also be used to make tea concentrate (approximately 32-34 oz [960-1020 mL]). Cold-brewed tea is steeped in cold water for 6-12 hours. To serve your tea beverage, we recommend using a 1:7 tea-to-water ratio. This means you add 1 part tea concentrate to 7 parts water.
Enjoy your cold brew tea the way you like by mixing concentrate with ice, water, milk, or sweeteners.
TIP: The longer you steep and the more tea you use, the more bitter the tea will become.
