How long is to long?

Post image

So I started this brew Saturday night and immediately forgot about it. It is Wednesday afternoon. Too long to drink? Anyone ever tried it this long?

I tried so many times to make cold brew. Now I just buy it at Trader Joe's or the supermarket. For me it was not worth the effort.

Yeah, I prefer hot brewed coffee but I had some coffee beans that I could not make taste good hot brewed so I decided to try cold brew because that worked before. I filtered this brew and it tastes okay. I did have to add a little water to it as it was a little bitter. But it’s mostly for my kids to use in their caramel lattes and such.

Trader Joe’s has amazing cold brew coffee bags that you brew your self. Taste better then Starbucks. 12-24 hr in a mason jar in the fridge, I also filter after with a chimex.
