Cold brew coffee is different to iced coffee – it’s simply brewed cold or at room temperature instead of adding ice cubes to hot coffee. Cold brew has to steep for between 8 to 24 hours so may not be a good option if you’re in a rush. It is, however, a great summer coffee option if you’d like a less bitter flavour.
