Sainsbury's Summer Berry & Basil Cold Brew Flavour Infusion
What it is
This is a unique flavour infusion designed for making cold brew coffee at home. It combines the sweet, slightly tart notes of summer berries with the aromatic, peppery essence of fresh basil. The infusion is intended to be added to coffee grounds and water during the cold brewing process, imparting its distinct flavour profile to the final beverage. It offers a refreshing twist on traditional cold brew, making it suitable for warmer weather or for those seeking a more complex coffee experience.

- Experiment with unique coffee flavours
To use, simply combine your preferred coffee grounds with cold water in a pitcher or jar. Add the desired amount of the summer berry & basil flavour infusion directly into the mixture. Stir gently to ensure the infusion is well distributed. Allow the mixture to steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, depending on your desired strength. Once brewed, strain the coffee to remove the grounds and infusion solids. Serve over ice, perhaps with a splash of milk or a garnish of fresh berries.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pre-flavoured coffee beans or syrups, this infusion is added during the brewing process. This allows the flavours to meld more naturally with the coffee, creating a more integrated taste. The combination of berry and basil offers a less common flavour profile than standard vanilla or caramel.
Who it is for
Home baristas and coffee enthusiasts looking to experiment with new and exciting flavours will enjoy this product.
