Method

Brewing the Cold Brew

  1. 1

    Mixing Coffee and Water

    In a large pitcher or jar, 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

    Steeping

    Cover the pitcher or jar with a lid or plastic wrap, and let it steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. The longer you steep, the stronger the coffee will be.

  3. 3

    Straining the Brew

    After steeping, strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee filter into another container. Discard the coffee grounds.
