中文：冷萃冰咖啡
Cold brew coffee has suddenly popular in my area. For a couple times I stand in line in Starbucks to order a Grande cold brew coffee but only to be told they are sold out. Really? For the third time, I finally got one. I was hooked as soon as I took a sip.
Cold brew coffee is milder than regular coffee due to its non heat process. Also because of that, it has brighter, lighter, smoother, and a hint of citrus flavor. What I love about it the most is that coffee has a strong chocolate note. With lot of ice cubes to cool down in hot summer time, I now understand why they are always sold out.
So I decide to make it at home. It is easy and simple to make your own cold brew coffee. It takes between 12 to 24 hours. So you just got to be patient. In the end, you will see the wait is worthy.
Ingredients：
85 g coffee beans
2 1/2 cups cold water
ice cubes
whole milk (optional)
simple syrup, maple syrup, or caramel sauce(optional)
Directions：
Coarsely ground the coffee beans with coffee grinder. Add to a large glass jar.
Add cold water while whisking. Cover the jar with its lid. Allow it to sit on countertop for 12 to 24 hours. The longer it sits, the better flavor it will develop.
Drain through coffee filter. Now you have a bottle of coffee concentrate.
Fill your glasses with ice cubes.
Add cold brew coffee
The smell is great.
Now you have two cups of cold brew coffee O(∩_∩)O~
I love adding whole milk and syrup to my cold brew coffee.
The moment when milk hits coffee, it is so beautiful.
Sometimes I use simple syrup. But caramel sauce is always my favorite. BTW, I make my own caramel sauce too. O(∩_∩)O~
Now it is time to enjoy a cup of great cold brew coffee.
Grab a good book, you will have a nice relaxing afternoon. O(∩_∩)O~
