As the weather warms up, the perfect drink to add to your summer coffee rotation is a classic cold brew. Delicious, always, and the perfect base to top with a cold foam if you’re feeling like something sweeter.

To make a Redbrick cold brew at home, you’re going to need:

• 18g coffee
• 175g boiling water
• 75g ice

Once you have those on hand, we can start brewing!

1. Grind coffee slightly finer than you would for a regular pour over (think a little finer than table sugar). Because we’re using less water to extract the same amount of coffee (in comparison to a typical brew ratio), we need the water to spend longer passing through the bed of coffee
2. Pre wet filter paper
3. Place 75g of ice into the carafe or brewing container
4. Place ground coffee in the v60
5. First pour: 50g. Bloom for 30 seconds
6. Second pour: at 30 seconds, pour another 50g (scale total will be 100g)
7. Final pour: at 1 minute, pour the remaining 75g of water (scale total 175g)
8. Total brew time should be 2:20-2:30min
9. Swirl carafe around to ensure all ice is melted

Thank us when it’s sweltering!
