Stok Cold-Brew Coffee Shot
What it is
This is a concentrated coffee beverage made through a cold-brewing process. Cold brewing involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period, typically 12 to 24 hours. This method extracts flavor without the heat, resulting in a smoother, less acidic coffee concentrate. It is designed for quick preparation and can be customized to your taste preferences.

It can also be incorporated into recipes for coffee-flavored desserts or used as a base for more complex coffee beverages.
How it differs from similar foods
