Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coarse ground coffee
- 4 cups cold filtered water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Instructions
In a large pitcher or jar, combine 1 cup of coarse ground coffee with 4 cups of cold filtered water.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coffee mixture.
Stir the mixture gently to ensure all coffee grounds are fully saturated with water.
Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent any contamination.
Refrigerate the mixture for 12 to 24 hours, depending on how strong you like your cold brew.
Once the brewing time is complete, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into another container to remove the coffee grounds.
If desired, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and stir until dissolved for a touch of sweetness.
Serve the cold brew over ice, and optionally, add milk or cream to taste.
Store any leftover cold brew in the refrigerator for up to a week.
