How to Make Cold Brew with Concentrate

Love cold brew but don't want to wait 12 to 24 hours to make it?

Cold brew concentrate is the easiest way to enjoy smooth, refreshing cold brew at home. Instead of steeping coffee overnight, you simply mix concentrate with water or milk, pour over ice, and your coffee is ready in seconds.

Here's how to make the perfect glass every time.

What Is Cold Brew Concentrate?

Cold brew concentrate is coffee that has already been brewed using the traditional cold brew process. Because it is made at a higher strength, it is designed to be mixed with water or milk before drinking.

It delivers the same smooth, balanced flavor as traditional cold brew without the time, equipment, or cleanup.

How to Make Cold Brew with Concentrate

Making cold brew with concentrate couldn't be easier.

What You'll Need

Step 1: Fill Your Glass with Ice

Start with a glass full of ice. This keeps your coffee cold and refreshing from the first sip to the last.

Step 2: Add Water or Milk

Pour 4 ounces of cold water into the glass for a classic cold brew.

If you prefer a creamier drink, use 4 ounces of milk instead. Whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, and other dairy alternatives all work well.

Step 3: Add the Concentrate

Pour 4 ounces of cold brew concentrate into the glass.

Horn & Hardart Cold Brew Concentrate is crafted with a simple 1:1 ratio, so all you have to remember is equal parts concentrate and water or milk.

Step 4: Stir and Enjoy

Give your drink a quick stir and it's ready to enjoy.

No brewing required. No filtering. No waiting overnight. Just smooth, refreshing cold brew in seconds.

Make It Your Way

One of the biggest advantages of cold brew concentrate is how easy it is to customize.

The recommended 1:1 ratio creates a smooth, balanced cup, but you can easily adjust it to match your taste.

  • Add more water for a lighter coffee.
  • Add more concentrate for a bolder flavor.
  • Mix with your favorite milk for an iced latte.
  • Pour over plenty of ice for an extra refreshing drink.

There is no single right way to enjoy cold brew. The best ratio is the one that tastes best to you.
