Cold Brew Coffee

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  • Add ground coffee and water to a large jar or resealable container (you can easily double or triple the recipe depending on how quickly you'll drink it.)
  • Set the container aside on the counter for about 12 hours - allow it to steep longer if you prefer stronger cold brew.
  • Once cold brew has reached desired strength/flavor, strain the ground coffee from the cold brew. I recommend using a combination of triple or quadruple layered cheesecloth with a fine mesh strainer. Discard or compost the grounds.
  • Store cold brew in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

Since this recipe technically makes cold brew concentrate, when you're ready to serve, you can dilute with some water until it reaches the desired flavor and/or pour over plenty of ice. I usually just use a ton of ice and no water, but find what combo you like to reach the right strength and flavor.
