Cedar Cold Brew
Cedar Cold Brew
Easy to make, doesn’t require any fancy equipment.
Just your favourite Arabic coffee and some kitchen utensils or a ready to go cold brew maker and patience.
Here we add a aromatic flavoursome infusion which twists the traditional cold brew into a new paradigm taking the bold flavours from the cardamom and Arabic coffee and blending it with the smoothness and lower acidity that a cold extraction creates.
Using the same technique, we steep our coffee grounds for an average of 18 to 24 hours before serving.
For this recipe were using our Levante blend with cardamom to make a total of 1 litre using 85g of coffee.
Equipment Recommended
Moka Pot
Espresso Machine
Nespresso Machine
Best Cup For The Win
Once your cold brew is ready, we recommend using a tumbler glass cup which gives you enough space for ice, your cold brew and maybe some water if it’s to robust in flavour and strength.
It just needs some ice, water for dilution if necessary and that’s it.

Equipment & Things Needed
step by step Guide
Step 1
For this demonstration, we will be using our Hario Mizudashi Cold Brew Coffee Maker.
Using a mason jar works equally well.
Prepare your coffee maker by placing your coffee basket into the jug.
Add 85g of coarsely ground coffee into the basket and 1 litre of water directly on top of the coffee grounds.
Slowly stir the coffee a little so that it blooms and mixes with the cold water better and close the lid.
Place in the fridge for 15 to 18 hours.
Step 2
Take out of the fridge, open the lid and remove the coffee basket.
Get a either a latte spoon or coffee paddle and give your cold brew a vigorous stir this is because your coffee would be more dense at the bottom.
Close lid and pour your cold brew over a muslin cloth covered jug as your Levante coffee grounds are much finer than the recommended coarse ground coffee you would normally use in a cold brew.
Then serve in a tumbler with ice. If you find the coffee a bit strong you can always dilute your cold brew with a bit of water.
If you’ve used a mason jar for the cold extraction process then you simply need to stir the coffee and use either a muslin cloth or coffee filter paper and a new jug to clean out your cold brew from any coffee residue.
