What is Cold Brew?

Cold Brew is a method of preparing coffee in which the coffee is steeped in cold or lukewarm water for several hours. Unlike classic filtered coffee, hot water is not used, which leads to a completely different taste result. The resulting beverage is typically:

naturally sweeter
less acidic
smoother
very refreshing

It is precisely the low acidity and high sweetness that make Cold Brew an ideal summer coffee.
