Method

Brewing the Cold Brew

  1. 1

    Combine Coffee and Water

    In a large jar or pitcher, add the coarse ground coffee and cold water. Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated.

  2. 2

    Steeping

    Cover the jar or pitcher and let it steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.

  3. 3

    Strain the Brew

    After the steeping period, strain the coffee using a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter to separate the grounds from the liquid. Discard the grounds.
