Coffee Mixture

Serving

Method

Brewing

  1. 1

    Combine Coffee and Water

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

  2. 2

    Steep the Mixture

    Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and let it steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.

Straining

  1. 3

    Strain the Coffee

    After steeping, use a fine mesh strainer or a coffee filter to strain the coffee mixture into a clean jar or pitcher. Discard the coffee grounds.

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare for Serving

  2. 5

    Add Milk and Sweetener

    Add 1/2 cup of milk or cream to the glass, then sweeten to taste with your preferred sweetener. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 6

    Enjoy

    Your cold brew coffee is ready to be enjoyed! Feel free to customize it with flavored syrups or additional toppings as desired.
