How to Make Cold-Brew Coffee


 by Erin Mosbaugh

You'll be surprised how easy cold-brew coffee is to make at home. It involves little more than soaking coffee grounds in cold water for 12 to 24 hours.

Let's do some math real quick: If you purchase a $4 cold-brew coffee every morning, you're spending roughly $120 per month — $1,440 per year! — on caffeine.

Sure, staying caffeinated is incredibly important, not to mention that coffee protects your liver, counters risk factors for heart attack and stroke and guards against Type 2 diabetes. But think of all the money you could save if you made your own cold-brew coffee.

And you'll be surprised how easy it is to pull off at home. The cold-brew process involves little more than soaking coarsely ground coffee beans in cold or room-temperature water for at least 20 hours. Plus, cold-brew coffee is lower in acidity than typical, hot-brewed coffee.

Still not convinced to go the DIY route? Think about it this way: If you started making your own cold-brew coffee, you could use that $1.4K per year to buy a used car or 220 pieces of avocado toast — depending on where your priorities lie.
