Caffeinated and cold, a tall glass of cold brew coffee<\/a> is just what you need to chill out on hot days. And the popularity of cold brew coffee is really perking up. Sales for this sophisticated style of iced coffee skyrocketed 339 percent from 2010 to 2015, according to research<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What makes it so special \u2014 and different from plain ol\u2019 iced coffee? It\u2019s not as simple as throwing a couple of ice cubes in hot coffee. The trick is using good-quality coffee beans, coarsely grinding the beans and then coating the grounds with hot water. The brewing method (check out our how-to guide here<\/a>) calls for 12 to 24 hours of steeping. Steeping the coffee makes each cup lower in acid and higher in caffeine. The result is a smooth, subtly sweet and rich chocolaty flavor that even cream-and-sugar lovers will appreciate drinking it black. Here, seven delicious cold brew coffee recipes that\u2019ll extend your buzz from breakfast all the way to dessert.<\/p>\n
