I just joined your server as a lemmy.world migrant and I’m a bit hesitant to resurrect old threads. 🥹

I’m getting started with Cold Brewing and the recipe I’m following says steep for 10-12hours, while the comments here says 20hours.

Is there a chance of over-extracting using the cold brew method? I’m usually either using dark roast robusta or dark roast arabica.

Thank you!

Yey. Super smooth na ulet scrolling sa Connect!

Thank you sa mga nag-suggest here in RD to migrate to a different lemmy instance.

I do mine in the fridge, so it seems that 20h is the way to go.

I love the tea egg suggestion! I’ll definitely try this tonight! I drown my failed attempts in milk and chocolate syrup, it never occured to me to make smaller batches 🤦

Thank you so much and will update with the results tomorrow.

Malunggay tea. I like the grassy smell but the taste is O_o

Update: Tried 15h, 20h, 48h (still in progress)

The 15h is certainly under extracted as there’s hints of sourness.

The 20h didn’t have any sour taste, but tasted quite bitter. I compared it with my store bought cold brew, which tastes great. I’ll try to experiment more on the grind size or different beans.

I actually DIY my plant milks as well as its super expensive here (developed cow milk intolerance lately 🥲 ). Been rotating between oat milk and cashew milk. I think I prefer cashew milk to my coffee though there are times I crave coffee + oat.

If you plan on DIY-ing cashew milk, I suggest to use “raw diced cashews” variety as it’s half the price of a regular cashews.

Update on the 48h. I actually forgot about it and steeped for another 10h. So a total of 58h. Surprisingly, it’s the best tasting of the 3 I did. I actually drank it black, it’s good without adding anything. Or maybe I developed a preference for over extracted coffee. Lol

Thank you so much for your advice, I would have been cursed forever with underextracted cold brew without it! I wish you all the best coffee in the world!! ☕☕
