Cold Brew Immersion Guide (18-Hour Steep)
By replacing heat with time, cold immersion gently dissolves soluble sugars and aromatic lipids without extracting astringent tannins or chlorogenic acids. The result is a naturally sweet concentrate that stays fresh for up to two weeks in your refrigerator.
Simple Step-by-Step Instructions
Dose in Mason Jar or French Press
Add 100g of extra-coarse St. Johns Cold Brew Lot into a clean glass pitcher. Pour 800g of cold filtered water directly over the grounds.
Ensure Full Saturation
Stir thoroughly with a spoon to ensure every coffee particle is wetted. Cover with a lid or wrap and let rest undisturbed for 16 to 18 hours at room temperature or inside your refrigerator.
Strain Out All Micro-Fines
Pour through a fine stainless mesh strainer to catch large grounds, then run the liquid through a paper coffee filter. This secondary pass removes microscopic sediment, giving your cold brew crystalline clarity.
Serve Over Ice
You now have a potent cold brew concentrate! Dilute 1:1 with cold filtered water, cold whole milk, or oat milk over ice. Sweeten with vanilla syrup if desired.
