Brew Your Own Cold Brew (at Home)
What makes cold brew different from iced coffee is the temperature of the water used during the brewing process. While iced coffee is brewed with hot water (like regular coffee) and then cooled over ice, true cold brew coffee is brewed with room-temperature or even cold water. Follow the steps below for a delicious, rich and refreshing homemade cold brew.
