What's going on people. Since i see so many coffee lovers in my following i decided to switch it up a little today and see how this will do.

Today i want to talk to all my coffee lovers out there.

You might have jumped on the trend of Cold Brew coffees, specially now in these hot summer months!

You also might know and feel the pain in your wallet! Yes, Cold Brew coffee can get expensive on a day to day basis. But we will show you how you can make your own cold brew on a budget and ditch going to your local coffee shop to get your daily fix!

The good thing with cold brew is, it can be stored for a few days in your refrigerator!

Let's jump into what you will need to get started.

First you will need a infuser, if you don't already have one i recommend the Infuser by Wintergreen, it's capacity is 48Oz/1.5 L and is made out of glass. It can be used to make your cold brew and or store it after it's done.
Get your Cold Brew infuser from Amazon.com

Next go get your favorite coffee, but make sure you go get your beens finely grounded!

Optional: you can add a coffee filter into the infuser if you like, they don't say you have to do so, but you will see little bit's of coffee corns will make it into the glass,

Now to the making,

  • Fill up your container to the marked indicator on the glass bottle, for the Wintergreen it is 48Oz.

  • Next up add about 30-35 tsp of coffee into the infuser, give or take on the tsp how ever strong or light you like your coffee. But start with about 30-35 and then adjust from there!

  • inset the infuser into the container and close it tightly, ever now and then (6hrs give the coffee some movement)

  • Let the coffee steep for about 24-48 hrs.

Once done, go ahead and enjoy your cold brew for up to 5 days in the fridge!

The first time around you will spend the most because you need to get the Cold Brew Infuser and the coffee it's self, but after that you'll be saving a lot of money!
