Summer Berries Cold Brew: a fruity iced coffee
↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
A summer berries cold brew is 30 g ground coffee steeped in 250 ml water for 12-15 hours, then poured over 100 g ice with 15 ml Swa Summer Berries Syrup. Stir gently and garnish with dehydrated berries. After the steep, assembly takes about five minutes.
Berries and cold brew are a natural match: the coffee stays smooth and low in acidity, and the berry medley adds freshness and sweetness.
Why pair berries with cold brew?
Cold brew is mellow and chocolatey, which lets a berry medley come through without sharpness. The result is a fruity iced coffee that reads as refreshing, not heavy. Batch the brew in advance and the drink is assembled in seconds.
How do I use it on a menu?
Position it as a seasonal iced coffee for summer. Brew in batches and keep it chilled so service stays fast. Explore more recipes or the cafe range.
