What Kind of Oat Milk should I use?
Personally, I prefer a full fat neutral flavored oat milk like Oatly.
Alpro’s Not Milk is also great but a little on the sweet side, so keep that in mind if that is something you care about.
If you don’t mind milk in your coffee and your coffee tasting like oatmeal, you can use any oat milk you have on hand.
Is cold brew dairy-free?
Cold brew coffee that is only ground coffee beans and water is dairy free. To keep it dairy free, you need to drink it black or add only dairy free milk products to it.
Is iced coffee dairy-free?
Iced coffee is not inherently dairy free. It is dairy free if you do not add any dairy to it and only use dairy free ingredients to make it.
Should I use filtered water?
If you have it, you should use it because it will give you a sweeter coffee in the end.
However, if you don’t have one, it shouldn’t stop you from making cold brew coffee.
Can I use a French press?
Actually, you can make cold brew coffee in a French press. You can simply press after leaving overnight.
What if I want to add flavor to my coffee?
If you want to add spices to your coffee, add a 1/2-inch cinnamon stick and 1 clove to the brew.
How do I avoid ice cubes diluting the coffee?
A popular trick to avoid ice cubes diluting your coffee is to make coffee cubes and use them.
