Coffee Base

Iced Coffee Preparation

Method

Coffee Brewing

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    In a large bowl 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 the Coffee

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

  3. 3

    Strain the Coffee

    After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a clean container to remove the grounds. You can discard the grounds.
