I have made a coffee mead
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f30/macachinilla-macadamia-mochachino-vanilla-215995/
But it has no where near the coffee flavour that I want. I'd like to add some more, I can think of two alternatives
1. Add some ground coffee
2. Cold brew some coffee and add it
I'll probably go with option 2.
My concern is how to avoid contamination. Any advice?
I can sanitise the containers and boil the water but no doubt the coffee itself will have contaminants on it. I really don't want to introduce something that will grow and spoil this batch.
Do you think if I boiled the cold brewed coffee it would change the taste much? Would this be best?
Thanks
