Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coarse ground coffee
- 4 cups cold filtered water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarse ground coffee and cold filtered water.
Stir gently to ensure all coffee grounds are saturated.
Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours for a stronger brew.
After steeping, strain the coffee using a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into another jar or pitcher to remove the grounds.
Add the vanilla extract to the strained cold brew coffee and stir well.
To serve, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cold brew coffee over the ice.
Top with unsweetened almond milk or milk of your choice, lightly stirring to combine.
Serve immediately or store the cold brew concentrate in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Adjust milk and vanilla to taste before serving.
