Fit Turkey Wrap

Measure 1 cup coarsely ground dark roast coffee. Aim for a coarse grind size similar to raw sugar or sea salt so extraction is slow and smooth.

Measure and Grind

Place the ground coffee in the large jar or pitcher. Pour 4 cups cold filtered water evenly over the grounds. Use a spoon to gently stir, ensuring all grounds are saturated and there are no dry clumps.

Combine Coffee and Water

Cover the jar and let it steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 16 to 20 hours. Steep longer (up to 24 hours) for a stronger, more concentrated brew; shorten to ~12–14 hours for a milder concentrate.

Steep

After steeping, place the fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth (or a clean nut-milk bag) over the secondary container. Pour the coffee mixture through to separate the liquid from the bulk grounds. Use the back of a spoon to press gently on the grounds to extract more liquid, but avoid forcing so much that you pull through fines.

First Strain

For a clearer concentrate, pour the strained liquid through a second fine mesh sieve or a paper coffee filter. This step removes remaining fine particles and yields a smoother, cleaner concentrate.

Second Strain (Optional)

Transfer the cold brew concentrate to a sealed container and refrigerate. It will keep well for up to 10 days, best within 5–7 days for peak flavor.

Store Concentrate

Cold brew concentrate is strong — a common serving ratio is 1 part concentrate to 1 part water or milk. Fill a glass with 1/2 to 1 cup ice, pour 2 to 4 ounces (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) concentrate, then add an equal amount of cold water or milk depending on desired strength and creaminess.

Dilute to Taste

If you prefer sweetened coffee, add simple syrup or another liquid sweetener to taste (start with 2 tsp simple syrup) and stir until combined. Use dissolvable sweeteners rather than granulated sugar so it blends well into cold drinks.

Sweeten (Optional)

Garnish with a splash of milk, cream, or a twist of citrus if desired. Serve immediately over ice. Keep any leftover concentrate refrigerated.
