Baby, it’s hot outside, so why not cool down with coffee. Cold brew coffee to be exact! It’s easy, delicious, and a perfect way to get your caffeine and chill out at the same time. But did you know that cold brewing your coffee can actually lower the acidity which can be better for your stomach?
It’s true! Brewing your coffee cold reduces the acidity by 60% as opposed to hot brewing which extracts more acids. And not only that, brewing coffee in fresh, cold water for 12-18-hours can help to balance its acidity and may also distribute lipids more evenly. While hot coffee uses heat to ensure extraction, cold coffee uses time instead. Now you might be wondering, what is coffee extraction and how does it pertain to my morning cup? Coffee extraction is the process of extracting flavor from the coffee beans by using hot or cold water. So, in order for you to fill your mug, you have to brew the coffee to extract the flavor.
Cold brewing is time saving, too. You can brew your coffee overnight and have it ready as soon as you wake up in the morning. And as a refrigerated concentrate, it can last a few days to about a week and a half compared to hot brewed coffee. Plus, the taste is much smoother from the extraction process which means tastier and sweeter coffee for you.
With cold brew, you can also play around with many flavors. You can use your favorite coffee or change it up with something different. Maybe you’ve tasted certain coffees before, but the process of brewing it cold opens up a whole new world of flavor to explore! And with Bones Coffee Cold Brew Pods, it just got even easier to make. Just drop a pod into a sealable container with 8-12oz of filtered water and leave out at room temperature for 16-24 hours. Viola! Cold brew just for you.
And the flavors you can try are incredible! Take fan favorite, Salty Siren, with swirls of caramel and mocha flavors with a hint of sea salt. Another top flavor is Highland Grog, a spiced rum flavor with notes of butterscotch and caramel. If you’re looking for more chocolatey flavor, check out Army of Dark Chocolate or maybe S’morey Time with chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker flavors. Or if you’re screaming for ice cream? Mint Invaders from Chocolate Space are taking over that territory with a mint chocolate chip ice cream flavor. And we could never forget Electric Unicorn because having your fruity cereal milk in your coffee just makes my inner child so happy!
And there you have it. So many reasons, benefits, and flavors to prove why you should make your next cup of coffee a cold one. You, your tummy, and your tastebuds can chill out this summer with a cold brew coffee!
