Equipment:

• Trailhead Coffee beans (freshly ground, coarse)

• Large container (glass or food-grade plastic)

• Filter (cheesecloth, nut milk bag, fine mesh sieve, or paper filter)  

• Water (filtered, room temperature)

• Optional: Scale (for precise measurements)  

 

Recipe:

• Preparation:

  • Grind your Trailhead Coffee beans to a coarse consistency, similar to breadcrumbs.

​​

• Infusion:

  • Add your ground coffee to the large container. A common ratio is 1:8 (coffee to water). For example, 100 grams of coffee to 800 grams of water.

  • Pour the room-temperature water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are fully submerged.

  • Gently stir the mixture to ensure even saturation.

 

• Steeping:

  • Cover the container and let it steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12-18 hours. The longer the steep, the stronger the brew.  

 

• Filtration:

  • After steeping, prepare your filtration setup.

  • Slowly pour the coffee mixture through your filter into a clean container.

  • If using a cheesecloth or nut milk bag, gently squeeze to extract all the liquid.

 

• Serving:

  • Serve the cold brew over ice, diluted with water or milk to your preference.  

  • Enjoy the smooth, low-acid flavours.

 

Tips:

• Adjust the steeping time to your taste. A longer steep will result in a stronger brew.

• Use filtered water for the best flavour.

• Store the cold brew in the refrigerator for up to a week.  

• Experiment with different ratios to find your ideal strength.
