Nebula Spice Cold Brew Infusion

Brewing Steps

1. Prepare spices: Lightly crush cardamom pods and break cinnamon stick into pieces to release oils
2. Combine ingredients: In a large jar or cold brew maker, add ground coffee and all spices
3. Add water: Pour room temperature filtered water over coffee and spices, stirring gently to ensure even saturation
4. Steep: Cover and refrigerate for 12-24 hours (longer steeping creates stronger flavor)
5. Strain: Filter through fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or coffee filter, removing all grounds and spice pieces
6. Serve: Pour concentrate over ice, dilute with water or milk to taste (typically 1:1 ratio)
