Ingredients
- Coarsely ground coffee
- 1 cup
- Cold water
- 4 cups
- Nitrogen gas cartridge
- 1 cartridge
Instructions
- In a large jar or container, combine the coarsely ground coffee and cold water. Stir well to ensure all coffee grounds are fully saturated.
- Cover the jar or container and let it steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to develop.
- Once steeping is complete, strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee filter to remove the grounds. This will ensure a smooth texture.
- Transfer the cold brew coffee to a keg or a pressurized container suitable for nitrogen infusion.
- Attach a nitrogen gas cartridge to the keg or container according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a secure fit.
- Gently shake the keg or container for about 30 seconds to infuse the coffee with nitrogen, creating that signature creamy head.
- Pour the nitro cold brew coffee into a glass, allowing the cascading effect to delight your senses.
- Enjoy the smooth, rich flavor of your homemade nitro cold brew coffee, perhaps with a splash of vanilla syrup or a hint of chocolate for a sweet twist!
Tips
- Experiment with different coffee beans to find your perfect flavor profile; medium to dark roasts tend to work best.
- For a sweeter version, add flavored syrups or sweeteners before infusing with nitrogen.
- If you do not have a keg, you can use a whipped cream dispenser as an alternative for infusing nitrogen.
