Ingredients
- 1 cup coarsely ground fresh coffee beans medium to dark roast
- 4 cups cold filtered water
Instructions
- Grind Your Beans:
- Use a burr grinder to grind fresh coffee beans to a coarse consistency.
- Measure and Mix:
- Combine 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups of cold, filtered water in a jar or cold brew maker. Stir gently to mix.
- Brew Time:
- Cover the mixture and let it steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.
- Filter:
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter to remove the grounds. For a cleaner brew, filter it twice.
- Serve:
- Pour the cold brew concentrate over ice. Dilute with water or milk to taste. Add sweetener if desired.
Notes
Always use fresh coffee beans and grind them just before brewing for the best flavor.
Store the cold brew concentrate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Experiment with different roast levels to find your preferred flavor profile.
