Cold Brew Coffee Recipe – Low Cal!
If you haven’t tried cold brew you should. It’s super smooth and naturally sweet. This is a great “party” drink. Fast, easy, cheap, and great tasting. This recipe is an extract from a blog post my sister Karen wrote titled “Cold Brewed Coffee Helped Me To Lose Over 30 Pounds”, see link above. It’s a real hoot and worth the read. Try this cold fresh coffee recipe.
- Start with our fresh roasted coffee beans
- Grind according to your brewing method
- Add one part fresh ground coffee to two parts filtered cold water
- Experiment using 1/2 tsp extract to an 10-cup pot. For example, 1/8 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp vanilla or 1/8 tsp chocolate extract and 1/8 tsp orange extract.
- Or put 2 Tablespoons of Ghirardelli Sweetened Chocolate and Cocoa into the pot with 1/8 tsp chili powder for a Mexican chocolate coffee. This will only add an additional 25 calories.
- Put it in the fridge at night and wait for the magic to occur. It takes a minimum of 8 hours. You must plan ahead. Cold coffee is NOT the same as cold brew.
- When you’re ready to serve your cold-brew, you can strain the coffee through cheese cloth, or just carefully pour off the top 2/3, leaving the sludge in the bottom.
Coffee-n-Beer
- Start with our fresh roasted coffee beans
- Grind according to your brewing method
- Brew up an extra strong pot of our super fresh roasted coffee beans or use the cold-brew method described above.
- Put it in the refrigerator for an hour or more. Don’t add ice. You don’t want to dilute the coffee.
- What beer is best? Whatever you like. I’m partial to dark manly beers, but my wife loves “girl beers”. So, use what you like.
- When you’re ready, start mixing.
- Some people will want a little beer with their coffee, others will want a little coffee with their beer. I personally like 25% coffee and 75% beer.
- It’s a fun idea for any summer party.
Tequila Sunrise




- Start with our fresh roasted coffee beans
- Grind according to your brewing method
- Either brew up an extra strong pot of our fresh roasted coffee beans, then put it in the refrigerator for a few hours
- Or, preferably, make up a batch of cold-brew, see recipe above.
- Pour a shot of your favorite tequila over ice. If you’re going to use gourmet coffee, please don’t use cheap tequila. Use a top-shelf (i.e., the good stuff) tequila. I’m partial to Don Julio.
- Add cold coffee
- Mix
- Drink
- Enjoy
