Potent Cold Brew
Allow me to introduce the best method of cold brew I’ve found. I’ve tried nut milk bags in jars, the Kilner system, the Ball system and French press system (that one is still a favorite). Now… this contraption pictured is not a Toddy, but if I were to buy it all again I would go for the glass system. That and I’m fairly certain this one does not exist anymore. For those of you who are concerned, It does sit in plastic, but cold and only for 12 hours before being stored. This produces the smoothest and strongest cold brew I’ve had. It’s great for infusing kefir drinks or cutting with water and a bit of coconut milk or cream. Make sure to use a high quality or organic coffee and if you are going to go the decaf route, make sure it is Co2 or Swiss water processed.
