For me, it’s never been about the caffeine, as I like decaf just as much … I just enjoy the aroma and taste of coffee. Making cold brew coffee is another great way to have your favorite cup of Joe!\nI don’t drink it every morning, but when I do, I typically drink it straight out of my\nfavorite French press.\nI like to blend it with some butter, coconut oil, and vanilla, or with a splash of\npeppermint coffee creamer.\nOn other days, I blend this same concoction into a tea of some kind or just enjoy some plain herbal tea.\nReally, there are endless ways to drink coffee … just please, don’t drink the kind that comes in\nthe coffee pods\n!\nCold Brew Coffee for Coffee Lovers\nIced coffee drinks are everywhere in the summertime, and usually have more milk and sugar than coffee. While yummy (to some) this type of iced coffee does nothing good for us and can awaken more cravings for sugar by flooding our dopamine receptors.\n(Still need convincing? Check out\nthe sugar stats\nin popular coffee shop options here.)\nI’ve found a good alternative in cold brew coffee, which isn’t just hot coffee poured over ice. If you enjoy a quality brew, cold brew coffee stays good to the last drop. It won’t get diluted as the ice melts, and it has none of the downsides of the coffee shop concoctions.\nBest of all, it’s easy to make a glass of cold brew at home. Plus it saves a ton of money over a Starbucks grande frappe addiction.\nBest Coffee Brewing Methods\nHow you brew your coffee and which beans you use really do have a big impact on flavor. Just compare watery gas station coffee to freshly homemade espresso!\nStart With Quality Coffee Beans\nUnfortunately, most coffee beans are contaminated with mold, mycotoxins, and other not so yummy things. An\norganic, low-acid coffee\nis a game changer when it comes to making a great cup of cold brew.\nAnother tip is to freshly grind your beans with a coffee grinder. You can easily control the grind and make everything from a course grind to an espresso. The volatile oils quickly degrade once coffee is ground so it’s best to do it in small batches.\nDrip Coffee Maker\nThese coffee makers are some of the most common. They use hot water over ground beans in a paper filter and can make enough for a crowd. Because of how they work it can result in a more bitter cup of coffee with more acidity. While some people love their drip coffee machines, I much prefer other options.\nFrench Press\nOne of my favorite ways to make coffee. Simply put boiled water and coffee grounds into the French press and let it brew at room temperature. Push the plunger down and you have hot brew coffee! This method preserves the flavorful volatile oils that create a more complex cup of coffee.\nYou can read more about my favorite (and healthier) ways to\nbrew coffee here.\nHow to Make Cold Brew Coffee\nCold brew coffee, as the name suggests, brews the coffee cold, for a less bitter and more aromatic cold coffee. The result is a naturally sweeter, full-bodied coffee that isn’t watered down by ice.\nSome people (like my dad) are coffee purists and would never consider drinking it cold. But if you aren’t part of that group, give cold brew a try! Some people buy special cold brew coffee makers, but I haven’t found them necessary.\nTo make cold brew coffee, you’ll need:\nA pitcher, mason jar, or bowl\nA fine mesh strainer\nA coffee filter\nthat fits the strainer\nYour favorite\ncoarse grind coffee beans\nThat’s it! The only catch to this super simple recipe is needing to plan, as this method takes about 12 hours to brew. The advantage? With a little advanced planning, you can brew coffee in your sleep (Yay for multi-tasking!).\nCold Brew Coffee Recipe\nUnlike hot brew, cold brew coffee uses cold water for the entire process. This results in a less bitter and more aromatic finished product that’s not diluted with ice.\nPlace the coffee grounds and water in your container and stir to combine.\nCover and put the mixture in the refrigerator.\nLeave for at least 12 hours or as much as 24.\nStrain through a fine mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter.

I don’t drink it every morning, but when I do, I typically drink it straight out of my [favorite French press.](https://www.amazon.com/French-Double-Wall-Stainless-Mirror-Heavier/dp/B07JGBK6XV/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=wellnessmama-20) I like to blend it with some butter, coconut oil, and vanilla, or with a splash of [peppermint coffee creamer.](https://wellnessmama.com/recipes/peppermint-coffee-creamer/) On other days, I blend this same concoction into a tea of some kind or just enjoy some plain herbal tea. Really, there are endless ways to drink coffee … just please, don’t drink the kind that comes in [the coffee pods](https://wellnessmama.com/natural-home/coffee-pod-problems/)\! ## Cold Brew Coffee for Coffee Lovers Iced coffee drinks are everywhere in the summertime, and usually have more milk and sugar than coffee. While yummy (to some) this type of iced coffee does nothing good for us and can awaken more cravings for sugar by flooding our dopamine receptors. (Still need convincing? Check out [the sugar stats](https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Sugar-Starbucks-Drinks-40253291) in popular coffee shop options here.) I’ve found a good alternative in cold brew coffee, which isn’t just hot coffee poured over ice. If you enjoy a quality brew, cold brew coffee stays good to the last drop. It won’t get diluted as the ice melts, and it has none of the downsides of the coffee shop concoctions. Best of all, it’s easy to make a glass of cold brew at home. Plus it saves a ton of money over a Starbucks grande frappe addiction. ## Best Coffee Brewing Methods How you brew your coffee and which beans you use really do have a big impact on flavor. Just compare watery gas station coffee to freshly homemade espresso\! ### Start With Quality Coffee Beans Unfortunately, most coffee beans are contaminated with mold, mycotoxins, and other not so yummy things. An [organic, low-acid coffee](https://wellnessmama.com/podcast/320/) is a game changer when it comes to making a great cup of cold brew. Another tip is to freshly grind your beans with a coffee grinder. You can easily control the grind and make everything from a course grind to an espresso. The volatile oils quickly degrade once coffee is ground so it’s best to do it in small batches. ### Drip Coffee Maker These coffee makers are some of the most common. They use hot water over ground beans in a paper filter and can make enough for a crowd. Because of how they work it can result in a more bitter cup of coffee with more acidity. While some people love their drip coffee machines, I much prefer other options. ### French Press One of my favorite ways to make coffee. Simply put boiled water and coffee grounds into the French press and let it brew at room temperature. Push the plunger down and you have hot brew coffee! This method preserves the flavorful volatile oils that create a more complex cup of coffee. You can read more about my favorite (and healthier) ways to [brew coffee here.](https://wellnessmama.com/natural-home/non-toxic-coffee-makers/) ## How to Make Cold Brew Coffee Cold brew coffee, as the name suggests, brews the coffee cold, for a less bitter and more aromatic cold coffee. The result is a naturally sweeter, full-bodied coffee that isn’t watered down by ice. Some people (like my dad) are coffee purists and would never consider drinking it cold. But if you aren’t part of that group, give cold brew a try! Some people buy special cold brew coffee makers, but I haven’t found them necessary. To make cold brew coffee, you’ll need: - A pitcher, mason jar, or bowl - A fine mesh strainer - [A coffee filter](https://www.amazon.com/Basket-Coffee-Filters-Natural-Unbleached/dp/B07MQ23HDX?th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=wellnessmama-20&linkId=4753d09f424b68b540b8a5c35bff6cb3&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) that fits the strainer - Your favorite [coarse grind coffee beans](https://puritycoffee.com/?rfsn=6174833.3a300cd) That’s it! The only catch to this super simple recipe is needing to plan, as this method takes about 12 hours to brew. The advantage? With a little advanced planning, you can brew coffee in your sleep (Yay for multi-tasking!). ![cold brew coffee](https://wellnessmama.com/wp-content/uploads/cold-brew-coffee-200x200.jpg) ## Cold Brew Coffee Recipe Unlike hot brew, cold brew coffee uses cold water for the entire process. This results in a less bitter and more aromatic finished product that’s not diluted with ice.

I make it really concentrated. Then when I want iced coffee, I just pour some over ice and top with some milk, half and half or coconut milk. Viola, iced coffee! I have also been roasting my own coffee beans. While I’m certainly no “master coffee roaster”, the coffee is AMAZING because when you roast it yourself, it’s so dang FRESH!! I can get all different varieties for about \$5.50-7.50 a pound, and I love experimenting with different “roasts”. Truly customized coffee!! AND….I’m roasting it in an old popcorn popper!! Love it!!

I don’t drink it every morning, but when I do, I typically drink it straight out of my [favorite French press.](https://www.amazon.com/French-Double-Wall-Stainless-Mirror-Heavier/dp/B07JGBK6XV/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=wellnessmama-20) I like to blend it with some butter, coconut oil, and vanilla, or with a splash of [peppermint coffee creamer.](https://wellnessmama.com/recipes/peppermint-coffee-creamer/) On other days, I blend this same concoction into a tea of some kind or just enjoy some plain herbal tea. Really, there are endless ways to drink coffee … just please, don’t drink the kind that comes in [the coffee pods](https://wellnessmama.com/natural-home/coffee-pod-problems/)\! ## Cold Brew Coffee for Coffee Lovers Iced coffee drinks are everywhere in the summertime, and usually have more milk and sugar than coffee. While yummy (to some) this type of iced coffee does nothing good for us and can awaken more cravings for sugar by flooding our dopamine receptors. (Still need convincing? Check out [the sugar stats](https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Sugar-Starbucks-Drinks-40253291) in popular coffee shop options here.) I’ve found a good alternative in cold brew coffee, which isn’t just hot coffee poured over ice. If you enjoy a quality brew, cold brew coffee stays good to the last drop. It won’t get diluted as the ice melts, and it has none of the downsides of the coffee shop concoctions. Best of all, it’s easy to make a glass of cold brew at home. Plus it saves a ton of money over a Starbucks grande frappe addiction. ## Best Coffee Brewing Methods How you brew your coffee and which beans you use really do have a big impact on flavor. Just compare watery gas station coffee to freshly homemade espresso\! ### Start With Quality Coffee Beans Unfortunately, most coffee beans are contaminated with mold, mycotoxins, and other not so yummy things. An [organic, low-acid coffee](https://wellnessmama.com/podcast/320/) is a game changer when it comes to making a great cup of cold brew. Another tip is to freshly grind your beans with a coffee grinder. You can easily control the grind and make everything from a course grind to an espresso. The volatile oils quickly degrade once coffee is ground so it’s best to do it in small batches. ### Drip Coffee Maker These coffee makers are some of the most common. They use hot water over ground beans in a paper filter and can make enough for a crowd. Because of how they work it can result in a more bitter cup of coffee with more acidity. While some people love their drip coffee machines, I much prefer other options. ### French Press One of my favorite ways to make coffee. Simply put boiled water and coffee grounds into the French press and let it brew at room temperature. Push the plunger down and you have hot brew coffee! This method preserves the flavorful volatile oils that create a more complex cup of coffee.

The result is a naturally sweeter, full-bodied coffee that isn’t watered down by ice. Some people (like my dad) are coffee purists and would never consider drinking it cold. But if you aren’t part of that group, give cold brew a try! Some people buy special cold brew coffee makers, but I haven’t found them necessary. To make cold brew coffee, you’ll need: - A pitcher, mason jar, or bowl - A fine mesh strainer - [A coffee filter](https://www.amazon.com/Basket-Coffee-Filters-Natural-Unbleached/dp/B07MQ23HDX?th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=wellnessmama-20&linkId=4753d09f424b68b540b8a5c35bff6cb3&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) that fits the strainer - Your favorite [coarse grind coffee beans](https://puritycoffee.com/?rfsn=6174833.3a300cd) That’s it!
