Method

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 all the coffee grounds are saturated.

  2. 2

    Steep

    Cover the jar or pitcher and let the coffee steep at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will be.

  3. 3

    Filter the Coffee

    After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer or a coffee filter to strain the coffee concentrate into a clean jar or pitcher, discarding the coffee grounds.

Serving

  1. 4

    Serve Over Ice

    Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cold brew concentrate over the ice. You can dilute it with cold water or milk to your desired strength.

  2. 5

    Add Sweetener (Optional)

    If desired, add sweetener to taste and stir well to combine.
