Can you all help me brainstorm what an ideal cold brew coffee recipe would look like? Cold brew is better for myself and some folks who are bothered by the acidity of regular coffee. However cold brew can suffer from the following issues:
-- fungi growth
-- less extraction of some nutrients (I don't know which ones)
-- others?
Here are some remedies I've brainstormed so far:
-- organic / low-fungi coffee
-- boiling the water first
-- brew at colder temperatures for longer
-- add some methylene blue
I sometimes add a bit of methylene blue to my coffee anyway, so I wonder if that would prevent any unwanted growths. Any idea how to tell which coffee is least contaminated? Any idea which nutrients are sub-optimally extracted without heat?
Please leave any feedback or ideas. Thanks!
