Method
Brewing the Cold Brew
- 1
Combine Coffee and Water
In a large pitcher or jar, combine 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups of filtered water. Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated.
- 2
Steep
Cover the pitcher or jar and let it steep at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor will be.

Strain
After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee filter into a clean pitcher. This will separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee.
