Cold brew coffee is deeply loved today, but its origins are little known. The earliest documented cold brew coffee comes from the 17th-century Netherlands, when sailors, to cope with long sea voyages, steeped coffee grounds in cold water for over twenty hours to make a concentrate, which both increased the caffeine content and extended shelf life.
