Ingredients:โ๏ธ
- Coarsely ground coffee beans
- Cold water
Equipment:
- Large glass jar or container with a lid
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
- Coffee filter or paper towels
- Pitcher or bottle for storage
Instructions:
- Start by measuring out your coarsely ground coffee beans. For a standard ratio, use 1 cup of coffee grounds for every 4 cups of water.
- Pour the coffee grounds into a large glass jar or container.
- Slowly pour cold water over the coffee grounds, making sure all the grounds are saturated. Stir gently to ensure even saturation.
- Seal the jar or container with a lid and let it steep at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. The longer you steep, the stronger the cold brew will be.
- After steeping, strain the cold brew concentrate using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth lined over a pitcher or another container.
- For a clearer brew, strain the mixture again using a coffee filter or several layers of paper towels.
- Transfer the strained cold brew concentrate into a clean pitcher or bottle for storage.
- To serve, dilute the cold brew concentrate with water, milk, or your favorite dairy alternative, and add ice as desired.
