When I make cold brew, I just use room temperature water.

Has any one tried putting a small amount of hot water to steep for a few minutes first and then filling the container with cold water for the remaining 12 to 24 hours?

I did this for about a year. Argument was the hot bloom could pull out some parts of flavor that the cold brewing couldn’t. I recently switched back to cold-only and decided the brews were improved. I do 100gm:700gm ratio and let it steep 24 hours.
