How to Make Cold Coffee in a Keurig
Are you tired of the same old hot coffee every morning? Do you want to try something new and refreshing? If so, you should consider making cold coffee in your Keurig! Cold brew coffee is a popular drink that offers a smooth, rich flavor and is perfect for hot summer days. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making cold coffee in a Keurig, so you can enjoy this delicious beverage at home.
First, gather the following ingredients and supplies:
– 1 Keurig machine
– 1 bag of your favorite coffee grounds
– 1 large pitcher or jar
– 1 strainer or cheesecloth
– Ice cubes
– Cold water
Next, follow these simple steps to make cold coffee in your Keurig:
1.
Start by filling the Keurig reservoir with cold water. This will ensure that the coffee grounds are extracted at a lower temperature, resulting in a smoother taste.
2.
Insert your favorite coffee grounds into the Keurig pod holder. Make sure not to overfill the pod, as this can lead to a bitter taste.
3.
Place the Keurig pod holder back into the machine and select the appropriate setting for your desired coffee strength. For a stronger cold brew, choose a setting that produces a larger volume of coffee.
4.
Press the start button and let the Keurig brew the coffee. This process usually takes about 3-5 minutes, depending on the strength setting.
5.
Once the coffee is brewed, carefully remove the pod holder from the Keurig and discard the used coffee grounds.
6.
Pour the freshly brewed coffee into the large pitcher or jar. Be sure to use a strainer or cheesecloth to remove any remaining coffee grounds.
7.
Refrigerate the pitcher or jar for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will allow the coffee to steep and develop its rich flavor.
8.
After the coffee has steeped, give it a good stir to ensure an even flavor distribution.
9.
Finally, pour the cold coffee over ice cubes in your favorite glass. Add any additional ingredients, such as milk, sugar, or flavorings, to taste.
Enjoy your refreshing cold coffee on a hot day or as a delightful treat any time of the year. Making cold coffee in a Keurig is a simple and convenient way to enjoy this popular beverage at home.
