Making coffee, letting it get cold and enjoying it over ice has always been my method for making iced coffee at home, but recently someone treated me to a bottle of cold brew to keep in the fridge and Good Drinkers... there is SUCH a difference. This stuff tasted fresh, smooth and delightful, and now that I'm back to making my own it's pretty harsh.
Maybe I just need to switch to a better brand of coffee, since I tend to just use whatever is cheapest at Aldi, but is there more to it than that? Is there a specific coffee or type of coffee that works better, or for those of you who do make cold brew at home, what works best for you? I'd love to know the cheapest, easiest hack for the process!
If you're a cold brew drinker, how do you make it cheap and easy at home without sacrificing flavor? What kinds of coffee do you use for the smoothest flavor? Share your tips and tricks in the chat!
