Description
Smooth, low-acid cold brew coffee, perfect for sipping over ice or making milk drinks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coarse coffee grounds (about 80–85 g)
- 4 cups cold water (946 ml)
- Ice, milk or cream (optional)
- Sweetener (optional): simple syrup, honey, or flavored syrup
Instructions
- Combine coarse coffee grounds and cold water in a large jar or pitcher.
- Stir gently, cover, and steep cold in the fridge for 12–24 hours.
- Strain the solids from the liquid through a sieve and paper filter (or a French press).
- Taste and dilute if needed; serve over ice with milk, cream, or sweetener.
Notes
Use coarse grounds to prevent over-extraction and ease straining. Decaf coffee can be used for a no-caffeine option.
