Description
This summer, Cinnamon Cold Brew brings the coffee shop right to your fridge! The cold brew process mellows any harsh bitterness from the coffee beans and a dash of cinnamon adds sweetness – without the need for added sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup coarsely ground coffee beans (around 90 grams)
- 6 cups of filtered water
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Almond milk, oat milk, etc. for serving
Instructions
- To a large pitcher, add coffee grounds and water. Add cinnamon and vanilla, then use a wooden spoon to stir to combine. The grounds will float to the top, so try to mix around the cinnamon as much as possible.
- Let cold brew sit for at least 8 hours in the fridge (up to 24 for best flavor).
- Place a fine mesh strainer or a thin tea towel over another pitcher or container. Carefully pour coffee mixture (grounds and all) through the strainer/towel. Set coffee ground aside (see post for uses) and strain a few more times. This will ensure you are able to get all of the grounds out cleanly. Alternatively, slowly pour cold brew through a paper coffee filter (this will take a bit longer but will provide a smooth result after one time.
- Your coffee is ready to drink! It will keep in the fridge for at least a week. It is fairly caffeinated, so feel free to mix with water or nondairy milk for a latte. I will normally mix 1/2 cup cold brew with 1/2-1 cup water or milk. Feel free to adjust to your preference.
