Low Calorie Cold Brew Coffee

Low Calorie Cold Brew Coffee

Cold brew is 67% less acidic than regular coffee, making it smoother and naturally sweeter. This means you need less milk and sweetener — saving you calories without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
• 1 cup cold filtered water (for brewing)
• 1/2 cup cold water (for diluting)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
• Ice cubes

Instructions

1. Combine coffee grounds and 1 cup cold water in a jar. Stir gently.

2. Cover and refrigerate for 12-16 hours (overnight is best).

3. Strain through a coffee filter, fine mesh sieve, or cheesecloth.

4. Fill a glass with ice. Pour 1/2 cup cold brew concentrate.

5. Add 1/2 cup cold water and almond milk. Sweeten with honey if desired.
