Summer is a time for cold-brew coffee in our house not just because it’s a refreshing way to get your caffeine for the day but also because it tastes great. Cold-brew coffee is brewed with cold water and uses time to extract all the great tasting oil, sugars, and caffeine. The result is a beverage that is less acidic, a strong smooth flavor and supposedly, more caffeine.
