Cold brew
Cold brew is a method of making coffee by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in cold or room-temperature water for an extended period, typically 12 to 24 hours. This process extracts flavors and compounds without the heat used in traditional brewing methods, resulting in a smoother, less acidic drink. After steeping, the mixture is strained to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. Cold brew can be enjoyed on its own, diluted with water or milk, and is often served over ice. It's popular for its refreshing taste and can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
