COLD BREW COFFEE: FOUNDER'S BLEND RECIPE

When temperatures are scorching, cool off with a glass of RAM Advantage cold brew coffee! Cold brew coffee has been a favorite in Japan since the 1600s. However, over the past couple years, cold brew coffee has stormed on to the scene in the United States because of these key reasons:

• Less Acidic - Since cold brew coffee is brewed with cold water, oils in the coffee that contain acid are not fully released into the beverage.   It is estimated that cold brew coffee is roughly 60 – 65% less acidic than typical hot brewed coffee.

• More Flavor – You’ll be shocked by the flavor difference based on how a coffee is brewed. Oxidation happens slower in cold water yielding a smoother, richer coffee with virtually no bitterness. Often times, those who have to load their coffee with cream and sugar find cold brew coffee perfect on its own.

• Mix It Up – The options are endless when it comes to mixing cold brew coffee. Make it into iced coffee, hot coffee, cocktails, soda, the list goes on. Try mixing your RAM cold brew with your favorite chocolate protein powder for flavorful mocha surge of caffeine and protein!

• Get an Extra Boost – Since cold brew coffee typically brews anywhere from 12 to 24 hours, you’ll notice your cold brew is much more flavorful, stronger and contains a higher caffeine content.

• Easy and Fun to Make – Cold brew is an extremely easy and different way to enjoy RAM Founder’s Blend Coffee. Best of all, you likely already have everything you need to get started. Find our favorite Team RAM cold brew coffee recipe below and get started today!
