“Think Different” – (hot) Cold Brew Coffee May 2016 Recipe

This cold brew recipe uses heat and it’s double filtered. It’s intended for African and/or lighter roasted coffee. The heat is in this instance used to bring out some of the delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee, and personally add a bit of sharpness.
I’ve experimented with cold brew coffee for a number of years and quite honestly only in the last year I tried “officially bottled” speciality coffee in Scotland.

Traditionally cold brew coffee requires no heat, but lets start out by being different.

** Disclaimer – I’m no expert – This is a set of rough guidelines, not written specifically for any particular coffee attempting to show the importance of trying to be exact. **

For this recipe you will need a Hario Mizudashi 600ml.
I’m also making use of a Hario VDD-02.

I used 60g of Assembly Coffee ground not altered from v60 medium fine, this is not ideal but not the end of the world.

1
-In the VDD-02 or similar item mix the 60g of ground with 200g of off the boil hot water.

–Important: time exactly 1 minute – and then add 400g of cold water.
-Swirl your potion.
-Pour this mixture into the Hario Mizudashi – it’s going to take a while on fine ground, but you’ll get there.
-Place the Mizudashi into the fridge for 14 hours.
2
-Now the fun part, because you used the wrong ground in step 1 (:P), it’s going to take a while to filter.
-In the VDD-02 (a V60 will also work). rinse the paper to prepare.
-Very very slowly remove the Mizudashi filter letting water drain into the Mizudashi jug.
-Start pouring your Jug into your VDD-02 filter in decanter or V60 + Vessel.

-I estimate this might take you as long as an hour and half, but keep with it, you might want to do something else as it filters.
-Pour this into a glass bottle with a lid and drink within 3 days. Keep refrigerated.

Please rinse and ensure all of your equipment is kept clean and rinsed before use, please research in your own time cold brew risks.
