Cold drip coffee

Cold drip coffee is a special way of making coffee that's different from the usual hot coffee that grown-ups and big kids usually have. It involves slowly dripping cold water through coffee grounds over a period of hours.

Here's how it works: you need a special machine that has a container on top to hold the coffee grounds and a container on the bottom to catch the coffee. Then, you take cold water and pour it into the top container. The water drips through a small hole and then through a filter that has coffee grounds in it.

The water and coffee grounds mix together and then drip slowly into the bottom container. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a whole day, depending on the speed of the drips and the size of the machine.

When it's all done, you have a big container full of cold drip coffee! It tastes a little different from hot coffee because the coffee wasn't heated up during the brewing process. Some people like it cold, but you can also heat it up if you want to.

Overall, cold drip coffee is a fun and interesting way to make coffee that grown-ups and big kids can try out.
