The weather is finally starting to warm up a little and that means it’s time to bring out the flip-flops and cold brew coffee! When it’s warm outside, especially on hot and humid days Georgia is known for, there is nothing like a glass of cold brew coffee.

I usually have a pitcher in the refrigerator ready to pour and these Dunkin’ Donuts Cold Brew Packets from Walmart make it as simple as 1-2-3.

What is cold brew coffee

The method of cold brewing coffee involves steeping the coffee grounds for 8-12 hours in cold water. The cold temperature of the water brings out a smooth, rich flavor and really enhances the taste of the coffee. This method also helps to cut down on any bitterness or acidity.

Cold brew vs Iced coffee: Cold brew is a method of brewing while iced coffee is hot coffee served over ice. Big difference!

How to make cold brew coffee

It only takes three easy steps to make this ultra-smooth, full bodied coffee. Drop, Steep, Love! I usually make mine before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning it is ready to drink.

• Start with 2 Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee Filter Packs. Place them in a 2 quart pitcher.
• Add 4 cups of cold water to the pitcher. (Make sure it is not hot water.)
• Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to steep overnight. (8-12 hours)
• Remove the filter packs from the pitcher and add 3 more cups of cold water.

The cold brew packets make 2 full pitchers. You can make your coffee for a week with just one box!

Ideas to add to cold brew coffee

I like my cold brew coffee black but sometimes I like to change it up a little. You could try a new taste everyday with the addition of a few simple ingredients.

• A splash of milk or cream or even a touch of condensed milk for sweetness.
• A drizzle of caramel
• Sprinkle of cinnamon
• Sea salt and caramel
• Sprinkle of cocoa powder
