The soul of milk coffee:
"Full taste, no burden"
The reason why low-temperature extraction of coffee is attractive is that low-temperature extraction can effectively reduce the release of some heavy molecular weight substances (such as bitterness) in coffee particles. At the same time, due to the long extraction time, the light molecular weight flavor substances in the coffee particles can be completely released, so the coffee extracted at low temperature can be overall clean and have a rich aroma and full taste.
The same is true for milk-extracted coffee. The latte we buy in cafes is made by extracting espresso coffee at high temperature using an espresso machine and adding milk. The espresso itself will be more or less extracted with some bitter substances. Although these flavors will be diluted after adding milk, some sensitive friends will find that the taste is not very good. Then milk-extracted coffee can solve this problem very well.
Of course, since fresh milk is rich in protein and butterfat, these substances will further slow down the release of flavor substances, so the concentration of the extracted latte is not as high as that of the latte made by the coffee machine, but the aroma and taste of the coffee are really amazing! Drinking milk coffee will give people a feeling of "the coffee shows its best in the mouth, and then turns around and leaves". The taste is full and not burdensome~
How to make cold brew latte?
It is recommended to choose fresh milk when making cold brew latte. Fresh milk has higher lactose and butterfat content, which can make the cold brew latte smooth and full in taste.
When it comes to coffee bean selection, we can choose some with more prominent flavors, such as Ethiopian Oiran coffee beans/Costa Rica Mozart coffee beans/Honduras sherry coffee beans, etc. These single-origin coffee beans have softer acidity and are more mellow overall.
-Making materials-
This time Front Street used sherry coffee beans processed in Honduran wine barrels. Prepare a clean, dry, airtight container, your favorite fresh milk, and tea bags.
- Production parameters -
Coffee bean grinding degree: medium-fine grinding (85% filtered through China No. 20 standard sieve), powder milk ratio is 1:13, low temperature soaking time: 8-10 hours.
- Production steps -
In this article, I only used 20g of coffee powder, put them into two tea bags and tied them. Then put it into a clean and dry container, pour 260g of refrigerated fresh milk, cover it and shake it gently to ensure that the coffee powder in the tea bag is fully moistened, and then put it in the refrigerator for 8-10 hours. After the extraction is complete, take away the tea bag/pour out the milk coffee and taste it. Since milk is rich in nutrients, it is recommended that it be stored for no more than 12 hours after extraction.
" Lazy version "
Prepare small cartons of fresh milk, check the net content of the milk, prepare coffee powder and put it in a tea bag, then put it directly into the milk carton, seal the opening with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for extraction~
Front Street first tasted the freshly filtered Queen's Manor Cold Brew Milk Coffee. It had a rich milk tea color in appearance, smelled of hazelnuts and roasted peanuts, and had a mellow and thick taste with a silky texture. After being left to ferment overnight, the taste of the coffee is almost the same, but the aroma is obviously reduced. Considering that milk is a very perishable drink, Front Street recommends that the finished milk coffee be consumed on the same day as much as possible to avoid causing intestinal discomfort.
