Ingredients

  • 1 cup coarse ground coffee beans
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  • Place the ground coffee and water in a large pitcher or jug and stir well to combine. Cover the container and allow the coffee to steep overnight in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
  • Line a small strainer with a cheesecloth and place over another large pitcher or bowl. Pour the coffee slowly through the strainer and discard the remaining bits left in the strainer.
  • When you’re ready to serve, dilute the cold brew with as much water or milk as you’d like. For every cup of cold brew, you can add up to 1 cup of water or milk.

Notes

Important: Use only coarse ground coffee beans when making cold brew at home.
