1
Combine coffee and water
In a clean 1‑liter (or larger) jar or pitcher, add 1 cup coarsely ground coffee. Pour 4 cups cold, filtered water evenly over the grounds to fully saturate them.
2
Stir to bloom
Stir gently with a long spoon for 10–20 seconds to ensure all grounds are wet and there are no dry pockets.
3
Steep
Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap. Let steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 16–20 hours (16 hours gives milder extraction; up to 20 hours gives fuller body).
4
Strain
After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter, double layer of cheesecloth, or nut-milk bag into a clean container. Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the grounds; if using a sieve, strain twice for clarity.
5
Store
Transfer the filtered cold brew concentrate to a sealed bottle or jar and refrigerate. Concentrate will keep for up to 10 days; best within 5 days.

6
Fill a glass with 1 cup of ice.
7
Pour 1/2 cup cold brew concentrate over the ice.
8
Top with 1/2 cup cold water or milk (use milk for a creamier drink). Stir to combine.
9
Taste and add sweetener if desired: about 1 teaspoon simple syrup, or 1 teaspoon honey (stir until dissolved). Adjust to taste.
10
Serve immediately. For variations: swap the water for equal parts coconut, oat, or almond milk; add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of cinnamon; or make a latte by heating the milk and pouring over the concentrate instead of cold.
