The Perfect Cold Brew with a Toddy Brewer

Steemit, you are beading with sweat and all in a fluster, but your enthusiasm and alertness is only reaching levels on par with that of a sleep deprived sloth. What is your brew of choice? I’ve always opted for a hot coffee at home as it was the only option on the menu to me. I've recently got my hands on a Toddy Cold Brewer to make a delicious cold brew for the warmer weather and cooler caffeinated life choices.

Here is what you will need to get started:
– Toddy Brewer
– Grinder
– Scales
– 1L of water
– Your Favourite Mug
– 80g of the good stuff (coffee)

Measure out and grind 80g of the good stuff. You want the grind to be coarse as if you were grinding it for a filter.

Place the rubber stopper in the white plastic brewer. Dampen a filter disc and place over the rubber stopper. Add 300ml of water in the bottom of the brewer before adding 40g of your ground coffee.

Don’t stir the grounds as they could get clogged in your filter and make it difficult for draining later. Simply gently fold the grounds into the water so they are all wet.

Add 350ml of water to the brewer.

Add the other 40g of coffee followed by 350ml of water ensuring all the grounds are wet.
Leave for 24hours. We left ours in the fridge with some cling-wrap and an elastic band to prevent sharehouse fridge faux-pas’ from ruining our batch. Nobody ever wanted beetroot juice in their cold brew… Did they?

Once you have patiently waited 24 hours it is time to remove your rubber stopper to unleash the liquid gold into the glass decanter.

Serve in your favourite mug black, with ice or without, even add a dash of milk (from a cow, from an almond, from a coconut or sweetened condensed). Bottom line is experiment with your cold brew and enjoy. We are told it can stay fresh for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator… However, we don’t see ours lasting that long.

Enjoy!
