The sun is blazing in Kathmandu, and a cup of coffee might be what you crave. But worry not, coffee lovers! Cold brew coffee offers a smooth, refreshing alternative to energize you all day. At Galaxy Training Institute, Nepal’s premier hospitality training institute, we’re passionate about empowering aspiring baristas to create exceptional coffee experiences. So, ditch the instant packets and whip up a delicious batch of cold brew with our easy guide:
Brewing Magic à la Nepali:
Locally Sourced, Freshly Ground:
Forget the pre-ground stuff! Head to your favorite local bean supplier and get freshly roasted beans coarsely ground. This ensures maximum flavor and minimal bitterness in your cold brew. Remember, we train our baristas to source high-quality ingredients – after all, it’s the foundation of a great cup!
Himalayan Cold Steep:
The classic 1:4 coffee grounds to water ratio applies here. Combine them in a large container (think traditional Nepali clay pots for an extra touch!) and stir gently. Cover and let it steep for 12-24 hours, depending on your desired strength. Patience is key, just like the dedication we instill in our barista trainees.
Straining for Perfection:
Using a cheesecloth or a coffee filter for a clean separation after steeping. Discard the grounds and relish your cold brew concentrate.
Galaxy Tip:
Craving a quicker cold brew fix? Try our “Himalayan Rush” method. Steep the coffee grounds in hot water for 2 hours, then dilute it with chilled Himalayan spring water and strain. This method offers a faster brew time, perfect for busy mornings.
Ready to Enjoy Your Chilled Cup:
Cold brew is a concentrate, so dilute it with water or milk. Pour it over ice, add some local Nepali honey for sweetness, or experiment with traditional flavors like cardamom or saffron. Cold brew stays fresh for up to a week, making it ideal for those early morning café shifts you’ll be ready to conquer after your Galaxy Training barista program.
