How To Make Cold Brew Coffee

1. Stage

Coarsely grind the coffee Grind the coffee beans on the coarsest setting on your grinder , or in short 1-second pulses in a spice grinder. The grounds should look like coarse cornmeal, not fine powder. You should have just under 1 cup of grounds.

2. Stage

Combine the coffee and the water Transfer the coffee grounds to the container you're using to make the cold brew. Pour the water over top. Stir gently with a long-handled spoon to make sure the grounds are thoroughly saturated with water.

3. Stage

Steep overnight Cover the jar with a lid or a small plate to protect it from dust and bugs. Let the coffee steep for about 12 hours. The coffee can be left on the counter or refrigerated; steeping time is the same.

4. Stage

Strain the coffee Line a small strainer with cheesecloth or flour sack cloth and place over a large measuring cup or bowl. Pour the coffee through the strainer.

5. Stage

Store the coffee Transfer the coffee to a small bottle or jar and store in the fridge for up to a week.

6. Stage

Serve the coffee Dilute the coffee with as much water or milk as you prefer. Serve over ice or warm for a few minutes in the microwave. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
