Quick Summary
Is cold- or hot-brewed coffee better for you?
The difference between cold- and hot-brew coffee.
Cold brew is a beverage made by steeping coffee grounds in cool or room-temperature water for 12 to 24 hours, then straining the mixture. This process results in a smooth, less acidic coffee concentrate that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Unlike hot brewing methods, cold brewing extracts flavor without the bitter acids and oils often associated with hot coffee. It is ideal for making coffee ice cream and can be used as a cooking ingredient.12
