Bulletproof Cold Brew Coffee

Bulletproof Cold Brew Coffee

Posted by Marie-Eve Maitland on 25th Apr 2022

OK, so I might be a bit late on the pulse but I only recently got really into the idea of cold brew. With everywhere making their own (often topped with syrups, sugars, and whipped cream) this got me into action, I had to make my own (healthier) version straightway

What’s so cool about cold brew? To start off, cold brew is…
Easy to make, I mean REALLY easy. Super tasty and less acidic than conventional coffee. Smoother in flavour. You can have cold brew anytime you want, you just need to be prepared to wait 24 hours. I know, preparation is key here. Once it’s made, cold brew can stay in an airtight container (a large mason jar being my favourite) for up to 1 week but let’s face it, it won’t last that long will it?

What you will need:

Ingredients: 1 cup whole bean coffee (Bulletproof) & 1L room temperature filtered water

Directions:

  1. Sterilise your jar with boiling water
  2. Grind your coffee so it resembles dried breadcrumbs, anything smaller and you end with over infused coffee with a gritty and muddy finish, not good
  3. Put the ground coffee in the sterilised jar and add the filtered water and stir with a spoon
  4. Let it rest in the fridge for at least 18 hours (24 hours is best)
  5. Strain the coffee and store the cold brew in the fridge for up to 1 week.
