Notes
Top Tips for making instant cold brew coffee
- The quality of your instant cold brew coffee depends on the quality of the instant coffee you use. I use one I know and would drink as a regular hot coffee. So choose a good brand that you know tastes good.
- You can also experiment with different coffee to water ratios to find the perfect balance for your taste buds. Here are a few more tips to help you make the perfect cup of cold brew instant coffee:
- If you can, use chilled water as it helps bring out the flavors more effectively. I keep some bottled water in the fridge for just that purpose.
- Use filtered water to get rid of any impurities that could affect the flavor. For the same reason do not use mineral water. The mineral flavor will affect the taste of your coffee.
- You can store the brewed coffee in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. But, honestly, why bother - it is so quick to make that you can make it and drink it.
- Once you have mastered cold brew instant coffee, why not try making a cold brew using fresh ground coffee beans. Check out my super simple cold brew recipe.
