FAQs

Q1: How to make cold brew at home?

A: You can either use your instant coffee or freshly ground coffee beans for making a brew. Mix the desired quantity of coffee with water let it sit overnight in the fridge. The next morning it will be ready to use.

Q2: How to make simple sugar syrup?

A: Take 100 grams of brown sugar and 110 ml of hot water. Mix until dissolved, then chill.
