Liven up your summer with delicious cold brew coffee.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee (medium to dark roast works best)
- 4 cups cold, filtered water
Equipment needed:
- Large jar, jug, or French press
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
- Coffee filter (optional, for extra clarity)
Instructions:
Measure & Combine
- Add 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee to your jar or French press.
- Pour in 4 cups of cold, filtered water.
- Stir gently to ensure all the grounds are saturated.
Steep
- Cover and let it sit in the fridge (or at room temperature if you prefer) for 12–18 hours.
- The longer you steep, the stronger and richer the brew.
Strain
- After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve lined with a cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
- If using a French press, just press down the plunger slowly.
Serve
- Dilute with water, milk, or a milk alternative (usually a 1:1 ratio, but adjust to taste).
- Serve over ice and enjoy!
Optional Add-ins:
- Sweetener (simple syrup, honey, or maple syrup)
- Vanilla extract or vanilla-flavoured syrup
Storage:
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one week.
