Our Cold Brew Pods are limited for summer enjoyment at this time BUT, you actually can Cold Brew with any of Java Momma's Coffees! The best way to Cold Brew is to order the coffee of your choosing from Java Momma in a French Press Grind. This Course Grind is what we use in our Cold Brew Pods. The perfect grind for that slow extraction.
Below are easy to follow instructions so you may enjoy Java Momma Cold Brew in the flavor of your choosing, all year round.
How To Make Cold Brew
This is easy. You’ll just need some French Press Ground coffee beans, a jar, and a cold overnight soak. This will make a wonderfully tasting coffee concentrate! Yes, it is concentrated coffee so don't forget to dilute!
1. French Press Grind (coarse grind). - 1 cup of course ground beans
2. Combine the ground coffee and water in the jar. - Add 4 cups of water and ground coffee beans to a mason jar or other glass storage container. We like to use our French Press.
3. Stir to incorporate. - Gently stir the coffee with the water until well-blended. The coffee will float to the top as it sits, but don’t stress about that — just make sure all of the coffee gets wet.
4. Steep the coffee overnight on the counter OR in the fridge. - Cover and let brew for at least 12 hours or up to 24 hours.
5. Strain the coffee concentrate - Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a large measuring cup. Slowly pour the coffee concentrate through the strainer. Depending on the size of your strainer, you may need to strain the coffee in batches. Fight the temptation to squeeze or press the coffee grounds in the cheesecloth.
6. Transfer the cold brew to a clean jar for longer-term storage.- Once strained, transfer the coffee to a clean, airtight jar for long-term storage. Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
7. Serve.- To serve, fill a glass with 1 cup ice cubes. Pour 1/2 cup the cold brew over the ice, add 1/2 cup cold water, and stir to combine. Add your favorite milk or creamer and enjoy!
