In the summer of 2023, Maison Soleil expands its world with the launch of its ready-to-drink Cold Brew range. Three recipes \u2014 an original, an Ethiopian single origin and an oat latte version \u2014 are joining our shelves and our specialist stockists. But before enjoying them in a can, why not try making your own cold brew at home? It is one of the simplest and most forgiving methods in specialty coffee.<\/p>\n
Unlike iced coffee, which is hot coffee cooled down, cold brew is steeped cold for long hours. Cold water extracts the aromas slowly, without drawing out the bitter and acidic compounds. The result is a naturally sweet, round drink with very subdued acidity. Ideal for summer afternoons or for those who find classic coffee too aggressive.<\/p>\n
You need very little: a container with a lid, a fine filter, fresh water and coarsely ground coffee. Our house cold-brew carafe, with its built-in one-litre stainless steel filter, was designed for this recipe. It makes filtering easy and slips straight into the fridge.<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/strong> : 80 g of coarsely ground coffee for 1 L of fresh water.<\/p>\n Steps<\/strong> : Cold brew keeps easily for three to five days in the fridge, tightly closed.<\/p>\n For an indulgent, accessible profile, use our M\u00e9lange Matinal<\/em> or the Brazil \u2014 Cerrado Mineiro<\/em>. Their chocolate and hazelnut notes translate beautifully cold. For a more delicate, fruity version, try theEthiopia \u2014 Yirgacheffe<\/em>, as in our bottled Cold Brew Ethiopia. Finally, if you want a bolder drink, the\u00c9quinoxe Blend<\/em> brings fine structure.<\/p>\n Neat over ice is our favourite way. You can also cut it with sparkling water for a refreshing coffee tonic, or add a splash of plant-based milk for a homemade iced latte. Do not add sugar at first: cold brew is often naturally sweet enough.<\/p>\n Making your own cold brew is fun and economical. But when time is short, our RTD range lets you take the same spirit away in a can or a bottle. The original, with no added sugar, faithfully reflects the sweetness of this method. This summer, we invite you to try both: make your own one weekend, and slip a can into your bag the following week.<\/p>\n A lovely summer to all.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cet \u00e9t\u00e9 2023, Maison Soleil \u00e9largit son univers avec le lancement de sa gamme Cold Brew pr\u00eat-\u00e0-boire.
