Looking for a bold, smooth, and proudly Canadian cold brew to sip all summer long? You’re in the right place.
This summer cold brew recipe stars Eh!mericano, our newest coffee that’s as Canadian as it gets—roasted and packed right here in Canada by Zavida, a proudly Canadian-owned company that’s been roasting coffee for over 42 years.
Smooth when needed, bold when it counts — just like a true Canadian. It’s rich enough to stand up to ice, and smooth enough to enjoy black.
Even better? You can make cold brew at home with just a mason jar.
Why Eh!mericano Is Perfect for Cold Brew
EH!mericano is our cheeky Canadian take on the classic Americano—traditionally a long espresso with hot water. But we’ve flipped it cold. Cold brewing brings out the cocoa-like richness of the beans while keeping bitterness low. The result? A refreshing iced coffee with backbone and flavour—no fancy gear required.
This is how to make cold brew coffee at home the Canadian way.
What you'll need
-
1/2 cup coarsely ground Eh!mericano (about 40g)
-
2 cups cold, filtered water
-
A mason jar or any lidded container

A fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or coffee filter

Step-by-Step: How to Make Cold Brew Coffee at Home
-
Combine coffee grounds and water in your mason jar. Stir gently to make sure all grounds are wet.
-
Cover and let steep in the fridge for 12–18 hours.
-
Strain through a fine mesh strainer, cheesecloth, or coffee filter into another jar or pitcher.
-
Serve over ice. Add maple syrup for a true Canadian kick, and top with cream or cold foam if you like.
Maple Cream Twist (Optional, but Highly Recommended)
For a creamy maple finish, try this easy cold foam:
-
1/4 cup cold milk (or dairy-free alternative)
-
1 tsp maple syrup
-
Froth until thick and pour gently over your cold brew
Now you know how to make cold brew at home — the Zavida way.
