Cold Brew Coffee

Cold brew coffee – a southern classic.  The way real iced coffee is made.  So delicious, very pure in flavor, less acidic and great for cooking.

I use a Toddy maker.  I am sure you can rig your own contraption but the Toddy sure makes it easy.

Now it is time to drip…

IMG_8401Use any coffee you like, make iced coffee cubes for an even more impressive iced coffee.  Use in a variety of desserts and coffee drinks.  My favorite way is a typical New Orleans style iced coffee on a hot summer day.
