Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
  • 4 cups cold filtered water

Method
 

  1. Stir the coffee and water together in a large jar.
  2. Cover and leave at room temperature for 12–18 hours.
  3. Strain through a fine sieve lined with a paper filter.
  4. Refrigerate the concentrate for up to 2 weeks.
  5. Dilute 1:1 with water or milk and serve over ice.

Notes

Use a coarse grind. Fine coffee makes cold brew bitter and cloudy.
