I recently discovered
Blue Tokai Roasters and am totally in love with their coffees. They custom roast in small batches and even put your name on packet; isn't it awesome? I highly recommend all their coffees - they're fresh, wholesome and really, really nice.

Serve it black, or serve it with milk - but be sure to ice it well! |
I also bought
Hario Mizudashi Cold-brew Pot from them. I read a lot about coffees and have been hankering to try the cold-brew ever since my better-half highly recommended it to me. Here it is, and let me tell you - Cold Brewed Coffee is AWESOME!! It's mellow, easy on tongue and I strongly feel it needs no sweetening as the slow, gradual brewing process brings out the best of coffee which is simply magic!

Hario equiments are high-quality, beautiful and definitely durable! Enjoy cold-brews in style! |
There's no recipe here, just right measurements and technique. I'll get right to it:
- Take 100 grams coffee for 700ml of water (ratio depends upon how strong or light you like your brew but I feel this works well).
- Put coffee grounds (fine grounds are must) in the filter, and some water in jug. Slowly pour 100ml (approx) water over grounds and let them get wet.
- After 1-2 minutes, slowly begin adding rest water and leave the jug in fridge, overnight, to brew for at least 12 hours.
- Once brewed, pour over ice and enjoy. Adding milk is optional but for some reason I like it when I gradually pour milk over this - just for the soothing effect!
- Enjoy chilled - Cheers!
Tip: If you don't have the cold brew pot, just put coffee grounds in a muslin and dip in water / jug for same time. Maybe a little messy, but will give you same output.
