Café mein cold brew ka ek glass ₹300–400 ka milta hai — jabki ghar par wahi cheez ₹30–40 mein ban jaati hai. Cold brew garam coffee ko thanda karna nahi hai; ye thande paani mein dheere-dheere nikaali hui coffee hai — kam kadwi, zyada smooth aur meethi.
Cold Brew Khaas Kyun Hai?
Garam paani coffee ke kadwe tel aur tezab jaldi nikaal leta hai; thanda paani 12–16 ghante mein sirf meetha aur chocolatey swaad nikaalta hai. Natija: aisi coffee jo bina cheeni ke bhi pee jaaye. Jinhe aam coffee kadwi lagti hai, unhe cold brew zaroor pasand ayegi.
Chahiye Kya-Kya?
Bas teen cheezein: mota pisa hua coffee powder (coarse grind), saaf thanda paani, aur ek bada jaar ya bottle. Coffee aur paani ka ratio 1:8 rakhein — matlab 100 gram coffee mein 800 ml paani. Mehenga equipment bilkul zaroori nahi; kitchen ka jaar kaafi hai.
Step-by-Step Recipe
(1) Jaar mein coffee powder daalein, upar se paani daal kar achhe se milayein. (2) Dhakkan lagakar fridge mein 14–16 ghante rakh dein — raat ko rakhna sabse aasaan. (3) Chhalni ya malmal ke kapde se chhaan lein. (4) Taiyaar concentrate ko baraf wale glass mein paani ya doodh milakar piyein. Ek baar mein 4–5 din ka stock ban jaata hai.
Serve Karne Ke Tarike
Concentrate tez hota hai — hamesha 1:1 paani ya doodh milakar piyein. Doodh wali cold brew latte jaisi lagti hai. Thoda vanilla ya shehad milana optional hai. Garmiyon mein baraf ke saath ye sabse taazgi bhari coffee hai. Concentrate fridge mein ek hafte tak aaraam se chalta hai.
Aam Galtiyan
Bareek pisa coffee powder use karna — isse coffee kichad jaisi aur kadwi banti hai. 24 ghante se zyada bhigona — swaad kharab ho jaata hai. Aur gande paani ka istemal — paani ka swaad coffee mein aata hai. Mota powder + saaf paani + sahi waqt = perfect cold brew.
