Cold Brew Coffee



Cold brewed coffee produces a product with up to 70% less acid. For some, this coffee may be easier to digest. 

To make it, soak ground coffee beans in cold water for 12 to 14 hours. Strain, heat and enjoy.

For a stronger brew, soak the ground coffee for 24 hours. You'll end up with cold brewed espresso.
