Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coarse ground coffee
- 4 cups Cold filtered water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.5 cup Milk or cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Sweetener of choice (optional, e.g., sugar, syrup, or honey)
Instructions
In a large jar or French press, combine the coarse ground coffee and cold filtered water.
Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated. Cover the jar or press with a lid or plastic wrap.
Allow the coffee to steep at room temperature for 12 to 14 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for a smooth, less acidic flavor.
After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or use the French press plunger to separate the grounds from the liquid.
For an additional layer of smoothness, strain the coffee again using a paper coffee filter or a cheesecloth-lined sieve.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the cold brew coffee concentrate over the ice until the glasses are three-quarters full.
If desired, add milk, cream, or sweetener to taste. Stir and serve immediately.
Store any leftover cold brew concentrate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
