Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup coffee beans coarsely ground, or ground coffee (about 2 ounces coffee by weight)
  • 3 cups cold water

Instructions

  • Place ground coffee and water in a quart size mason jar or other container. Stir to combine, or seal the lid and shake gently.
  • Let the mixture steep for 12-18 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  • Place a fine mesh strainer over a liquid measuring cup or other container. It is easiest if you strain the coffee into something with a pour spout so that you can transfer it to a mason jar for storage. Line the strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag.
  • Pour the cold brew through the strainer and let all of the liquid strain through.
  • Store cold brew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To serve, dilute the coffee concentrate to your desired strength. I use equal parts coffee concentrate and water. Serve with half and half or milk, as desired.

Notes

  • Use filtered water for the best flavor.
  • You can use decaf coffee or make half caf by using half regular coffee and half decaf.
  • Coffee grounds are not good for your garbage disposal, so either discard them in the trash or compost them.
