Steeped coffee in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then I pressed it to remove the grinds, and heated it in a saucepan.Pressed one more time, then served at 170°FDidn't need any cream or sugar, it was fine black, but I added a dash of cream for color and texture.It had excellent body, great flavor, and a silken palette feel.

What kind of coffee did you use?

brew
QuotebrewMost normal people just call it coffee.
>heating cold brew>gevaliaNope
You're supposed to drink cold brew cold... What temp was the water you steeped it in?I used to have to make it at Starbucks everyday... it was a pain in the ass and then the bag would go moldy if you forgot to take it out and then you had to throw out the whole batch (we would pour it into two pitchers at a time so we could avoid serving moldy coffee...)
That is way too much effort

Reheating brewed coffee is bad juju. Ultimately you're doing very little more than heating up a regular cup of coffee. Cold brew isn't special, it just takes more ground and time because of a lack of heat.

Also Cold Brew tends to have a sweeter taste with a thicker body, but it takes the same amount of coffee to water ratio as normal brewed coffee.

You can also just put a dash of table salt into a cup of coffee, but I've never done that so I can't speak to its efficacy.

Cold brew doesn't actually take twice the grounds, when it's done brewing you have to add water or you'll be buzzing from how concentrated it is. Made that mistake my first batch, almost killed me.

Just had my first cold brew.
