How to Make Cold Brew with Yemeni Coffee

October 25, 2026 · Al-Aqeeq Team

Quick answerMix 100 g of coarsely ground Yemeni coffee with 1 liter of cold, filtered water. Steep in the fridge for 14 to 18 hours, then strain through a paper filter. This makes a concentrate: dilute about 1:1 with water or milk and serve over ice.

Cold brew turns Yemeni coffee into a smooth, low-acid drink with deep chocolate and dried-fruit sweetness.

Steps

  1. Grind 100 g coffee coarse.
  2. Combine with 1 liter cold water in a jar; stir well.
  3. Cover and refrigerate 14-18 hours.
  4. Strain through a fine sieve, then a paper filter.
  5. Store the concentrate in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.

Serving ideas

  • Over ice with a splash of milk.
  • With a pinch of cardamom for a Yemeni twist.
  • Sweetened with date syrup.
