No reviews

Cold brew coffee steeps long and slow with water and coarse ground coffee beans in the refrigerator resulting in a concentrate that is slightly sweet, smooth, and rich in taste.

  • Total Time: 24 hours
  • Yield: 4 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup coarse ground medium or light roast coffee
  • 4 cups water, preferably filtered and at room temperature

Instructions

  1. Place coffee grounds in a 2-quart glass jar.
  2. Add water and stir well; screw the lid on tightly.
  3. Place the jar in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  4. Pour the coffee through a sieve to separate grounds from the cold brew into a pitcher.
  5. Strain a second time using a coffee filter to filter coffee again without forcing it through; coffee should be clear and cloudless.
  6. Enjoy right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a full 24 hours to steep cold brew in the refrigerator, you can add warm water to speed up the non-refrigerated brewing process. Eight to ten hours left on the kitchen counter should be long enough.
  • The recipe can be increased as much as possible if you have a large enough container.
