Method

Brewing Process

  1. 1

    Combine Coffee and Water

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

  2. 2

    Steep

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

  3. 3

    Strain

    After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or a coffee filter into a clean pitcher to remove the coffee grounds. Discard the grounds.
