Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Coffee and Water

    In a large jar or pitcher, combine 1 cup of coarse ground coffee with 4 cups of cold water. Stir gently to ensure the coffee grounds are fully saturated.

  2. 2

    Steep

    Cover the jar or pitcher and let the mixture steep in the refrigerator for about 12 to 24 hours. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor.

  3. 3

    Strain

    After steeping, strain the coffee concentrate through a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into a clean container. Discard the coffee grounds.

Flavoring and Serving

  1. 4

    Flavor the Brew

    If desired, add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 2 tbs of simple syrup to the coffee concentrate. Stir well to combine.

  2. 5

    Serve

    To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes, and pour the cold brew coffee over the ice. Add 1 cup of milk or cream if you prefer a creamy texture.

  3. 6

    Garnish (Optional)

    For an extra touch, sprinkle a little cocoa powder on top of the cold brew before serving.
