One step outside and you it hits you. You can practically taste the humidity. Ah; summer time in Canada: When the nation of ice hockey turns into a sauna.
Canadian clichés aside (eh), we’ve got some incredible coffee solutions for you that are quite tasty!
They pair quite well with the August issue of The Roasters Pack, so break out your coffees and let’s get brewing!
Summer might be fading but the best solution for your summer woes? Denial. Denial and cold brew. Toss on your favourite hoodie, start making some delicious cold brew coffee and pretend it's the middle of July.
Earlier in the year we went through how to brew iced coffee and reached out to our roaster partners with their favourite recipes to make iced coffee. Although cold brewing coffee does test your patience, it is a bit more popular than iced coffee because of the fact that the taste is so different and unique - the pronounced clarity and a serious reduction in bitterness. It’s a bit less acidic too because of the way it is (usually) brewed is hot-water-free.
That skin on the fruit of the coffee cherry, also known as the coffee husk (‘husk’ or ‘skin’ translated in Spanish is Cascara, hence the name) is usually either a wasted product of coffee production or used as a fertilizer.
However it can actually make quite a tasty beverage.
