Homemade Cold Brew Coffee
It could seriously not be easier to make cold brew coffee at home. All it takes is two ingredients and a little time.
Servings: 8 cups
Calories: 0.3kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee coarsely ground
- 8 cups filtered water
Instructions
To make the cold brew
- Combine the ground coffee and filtered water in a large container with a lid. I use a plastic pitcher.
- Let the coffee sit for 12 hours (or longer, if you'd like stronger cold brew) at room temperature.
- Strain the cold brew (see notes) into whatever container you plan to store it in. Refrigerate it until you're ready to use it.
When you're ready to drink your cold brew
- Pour the desired amount of cold brew over ice.
- Add your desired amount of milk/creamer/half and half/etc. and/or sweetener.
Notes
- You can use whatever ground coffee that you prefer. To be honest, I most often use some ground Dunkin Donuts coffee from the grocery store.
- I like to strain the cold brew through a fine mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter.
- My current favorite way to drink my cold brew is with a splash of half and half and little bit of flavored simple syrup.
