Description
Smooth and low-acid cold brew coffee that can be prepared as a concentrate or ready-to-drink.
Ingredients
- 100 g coarsely ground coffee (about 1 cup)
- 400 g cold water (about 1 2/3 cups) for concentrate
- 800 g cold water (about 3 1/3 cups) for ready-to-drink
Instructions
- Grind coffee to a coarse texture similar to raw sugar or coarse sea salt.
- Add grounds to your jar, pitcher, or French press.
- Pour the cold water evenly over the grounds.
- Stir gently for 10–15 seconds to ensure all grounds are wet.
- Cover the vessel to keep out odors and dust, and let steep at room temperature or in the fridge for 12–24 hours.
- After steeping, press down the French press or strain through a fine-mesh sieve into another container to remove coarse solids.
- Transfer the cold brew to an airtight bottle or jar and refrigerate.
- If made concentrate, dilute with equal parts water or milk when serving.
Notes
Use filtered water for the best flavor and avoid chlorine-tainted tap water.
