Method

Brewing the Cold Brew

  1. 1

    Combine Coffee and Water

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

  2. 2

    Steep the Mixture

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

Straining and Serving

  1. 3

    Strain the Brew

    After steeping, strain the coffee mixture through a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into another jar or pitcher to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid.

  2. 4

    Serve Over Ice

    Fill a glass with ice and pour the cold brew concentrate over the ice. Add milk or cream and sweetener to taste if desired. Stir well and enjoy!
