COFFEE CONCENTRATE

Making this cold brew coffee concentrate is simple and easy. You only need two ingredients — the best ground coffee you can get and water  that's it! Of course, it helps to know the best coffee beans for cold brew if you are using fresh ground coffee.
The coffee beans to water ratio depends on how concentrated you want it and how much you want to make.
Depending on how strong you like your coffee, feel free to play around with the ratios to suit your own needs.

Unlike hot brewed coffee, which is made by pouring hot water over coffee grounds, brewing the coffee quickly, cold brewed coffee is made by pouring cold water over coffee grounds and allowing them to steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for many hours. Cold brew is not the same thing as iced coffee; iced coffee refers to hot brewed coffee that’s been chilled unless it’s explicitly called “cold brew iced coffee.”

This process of cold brewing coffee creates a smoother, less bitter coffee with lower acidity and lower caffeine than conventional hot brewing methods. The difference in taste is because the coffee grounds never come into contact with heat, which produces a unique chemical profile.
