Method
Cold Brew Coffee Preparation
Step 1: Combine Coffee and Water
In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarsely ground coffee with cold water. Stir gently to ensure all coffee grounds are wet.
Step 2: Steep the Coffee
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.
Step 3: Strain the Coffee
After the steeping period, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into a clean container to remove the grounds.
