Hi it's Olivia, video producer a Chowhound. I don't know about you but all
this summer heat is making me super
sluggish so I need some coffee.
Not just any coffee,
I need cold brew because it's less
acidic, it's easier on your stomach, and
has a lot more caffeine in it. So there
are only a few things that you need to
make this. You need a measuring cup, your
coffee beans,
I chose Intelligentsia to pay homage to my
Chicago roots and it's delicious,
then you need a bowl to pour the coffee
into, and then you have your mason jar
this is a 32 ounce mason jar so it's
something really important to remember
is that the coffee beans have to be
ground very coarse similar to how you
would grind your beans for a French
Press. So we're gonna grind one and a
half cups of coffee. Sorry is that loud
in your headphones? One and a half cups
of ground beans, fill the jar halfway
then you want to give it a good stir
fill it up the rest of the way
so I'm going to put the cap on and put
it in the refrigerator and wait for 16
hours. Luckily I already made some and
I'm going to show you how to filter it
all we're going to need is the strainer
and my coffee filter. The purpose of
having the coffee filter over the mesh
strainer is there are small pieces of the
beans that could get through the mesh
strainer it doesn't look like a lot but
it's very concentrated you can dilute it
with water
oat milk, or coconut milk even...Yum! I'm
actually still allowing the rest of it
to strain in here but when it's done I'm
gonna put it in a mason jar and back in
the refrigerator
Wow!
I made heart-shaped ice cubes of
espresso I measured it out
and two of these hearts are one shot of
espresso which means when I put this in
here I'm gonna make myself a red-eye a
heart for summer love that way when it's
hot out and the ice starts to melt it
doesn't become so watery from the ice
cubes. Vanilla oat milk.
Well it's been a super productive
morning already got my coffee, gonna give
Ori a little bit of peanut butter... you
know what it's gonna be a good day!
Cheers!
