Fact:
I am not a morning
person. I need my caffeine. I need my coffee. It is imperative and basically a necessity if
I want to open my eyes and start functioning in any capacity. Pretty sure I started drinking the stuff in
about 6th grade and haven’t looked back since.
It is one of the great loves of my life.
But I have always been zeroed in on hot coffee – you know the normal
stuff that you can get anywhere. How
have I been completely unaware that there is a sweeter, more gentle and
easy-going version of this great love of mine?
Well there is. And his name is Cold
Brew.
In case you are as unaware as I have been, Cold Brew coffee is made by
brewing roughly ground coffee beans in cold water for a long period of time
(think 24 hours). Hot Coffee, the stuff
you are probably most accustomed to, is brewed by pouring hot water over finely
ground coffee in a very short period of time.
Iced Coffee, on the other hand, is simply Hot Coffee poured over ice.

For me, the reason I love Cold Brew is because after years of tossing back
Hot Coffee, I have developed a lovely case of acid reflux and about a year and
a half ago, I had to cut out my beloved Hot Coffee. I now drink exclusively cold brew. The reason I avoid Hot Coffee is the amount
of acidity that is found in it due to the more severe way it is brewed. The hot water going through the fine coffee
grounds allows more acidity to be present in the final product. Acidity = hard on your stomach.
Cold Brew is gently brewed in cold water so the amount of acidity is much,
much smaller, which means I get drink it and not get sick (yay me)!
It is also an awesome addition to any Whole30, which limits what you can
put in your coffee to tame the bitterness (think – creamer). Cold brew is so much less bitter and easier
to drink black than hot coffee – I highly recommend cold brew if you are
starting a Whole30 and struggling with the whole coffee thing! But I also have
this awesome Whole30 Vanilla and Cinnamon Creamer you can try too!
