Anything that is in a mason jar seems to be more perfect. At least for me, there’s something that I adore about mason jars. HomeGrounds on YouTube shows one of the easiest methods for brewing coffee and how to make cold brew in a mason jar. I love cold brew and I have my own method that I use, however, I wanted to watch a video and see if there are other ways that might be different from mine. Cold-brew coffee can be expensive over time if you’re buying a cup every day versus making it yourself and storing it in the fridge for a couple of days or a week. This is great if you’re short on time and want to grab and go from your own refrigerator. At the end of time, this cold brew recipe gives you a smooth coffee concentrate that is naturally low in acid and bitterness.
