Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Coarsely ground coffee (1 cup)
  • Cold water (4 cups)
  • Nitrogen gas cartridge (1 cartridge)

Instructions

  1. In a large jar or container, combine the coarsely ground coffee and cold water. Stir well to ensure all coffee grounds are fully saturated.
  2. Cover the jar or container and let it steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to develop.
  3. 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.
  4. Transfer the cold brew coffee to a keg or a pressurized container suitable for nitrogen infusion.
  5. Attach a nitrogen gas cartridge to the keg or container according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring a secure fit.
  6. Gently shake the keg or container for about 30 seconds to infuse the coffee with nitrogen, creating that signature creamy head.
  7. Pour the nitro cold brew coffee into a glass, allowing the cascading effect to delight your senses.
  8. 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!
