Here’s a more detailed version of your cold brew coffee recipe:
Cold Brew Coffee Recipe Using Aldi Cold Brew Maker
Ingredients:
- Coffee grounds: Choose your favorite medium or coarse ground coffee (about 1 to 1.5 cups, depending on how strong you like it)
- Cold water: Enough to fill the pitcher (approximately 4 to 6 cups, depending on your pitcher size)
- Ice: For serving
- Cream (optional): To taste
- Sugar or sweetener (optional): To taste
Equipment:
- Aldi Cold Brew Coffee Maker
- Coffee scoop or measuring cup
- Spoon or stirring utensil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coffee Grounds: Measure out 1 to 1.5 cups of medium to coarse coffee grounds, depending on how strong you want your cold brew.
- Assemble the Cold Brew Maker:
- Remove the central filter component from the pitcher.
- Fill the filter (the tall, central part) with the coffee grounds, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Screw the cap onto the top of the filter to seal the grounds inside.
- Add Water:
- Place the filled filter into the pitcher.
- Slowly pour cold water over the filter and coffee grounds, filling the pitcher to the desired level. Make sure the water is well distributed over the grounds for optimal brewing.
- Stir gently to ensure all the grounds are fully soaked.
- Brew:
- Place the pitcher in your refrigerator to brew.
- Let it steep for 12 to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
- Remove the Coffee Grounds:
- After the brewing time is up, carefully remove the filter filled with coffee grounds from the pitcher.
- Replace the central filter with the strainer cap that comes with the coffee maker. This strainer cap helps to filter out any leftover coffee particles when pouring.
- Serve:
- Pour the cold brew coffee over a glass of ice.
- Add cream and sugar to taste, or any other favorite additions like flavored syrups or milk alternatives.
- Enjoy: Sit back and sip your smooth, delicious cold brew!
Fun Touch:
- Add a sign to your coffee station that says, “I like my coffee hot like my man. #browniepoints” for a playful touch, even if you’re enjoying iced coffee! 😊
This setup allows you to enjoy cold brew any time, even if you usually drink your coffee hot!
