After asking around at a few of my favorite coffee shops, I landed on the Meritage, which local roaster Cuvee calls the “the soul of Cuvée Coffee Roasting Company.”  They describe it as “sweet red fruit with a creamy body, malted chocolate & a spicy zinfandel finish.”  I think of it as all the flavor of carmel, without all the sugar.

Here’s how I make it.

You will need:

• A Toddy Cold Brew Coffee Maker (although a good French Press will do.)
• A pound of Meritage.
• Patience.

1. Mix filtered water and course ground coffee at a ratio of 4 cups of water for ever 6 ounces.
2. Cover and brew for 24 hours.
3. Pop out the cork and let it filter.
4. Cut it with water, at a minimum of a 1 to 1 ratio.
5. Serve over ice on a hot afternoon.
