Cold Brew Concentrate Ratio: The Perfect Brewing Guide
Getting your cold brew concentrate ratio right is the difference between a smooth, bold cup and a bitter, watered-down mess. The standard cold brew concentrate ratio is 1:5 — one part coarsely ground coffee to five parts cold, filtered water. This produces a concentrate that you can dilute 1:1 with water, milk, or your mixer of choice.   For a lighter, ready-to-drink cold brew, use a 1:8 ratio. For an extra-strong concentrate (great for recipes or espresso-style drinks), go as high as 1:4. Steep time matters too — 12 to... Read more...

Your pre-workout has more ingredients than your post-workout meal. Time to fix that. The best pre-workout cold brew is the one with the fewest ingredients and the most caffeine per dollar.

Does Cold Brew Break a Fast? What You Actually Need to Know
You're 14 hours into a fast. Your stomach is making decisions your brain hasn't approved yet. You reach for a cold brew from the fridge and then pause — does this break my fast?
