Stok Cold Brew Energy Coffee Concentrate
What it is
This is a concentrated coffee beverage made through a cold brew process. Cold brewing involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, typically 12 to 24 hours. This method extracts flavor compounds differently than hot brewing, resulting in a smoother, less acidic coffee. The concentrate is designed to be diluted with water or milk before consumption, offering a strong coffee flavor and a significant caffeine boost. It is a convenient way to enjoy cold coffee at home.
