Ingredients

  • 1 cup coffee, coarsey gorund
  • 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

Notes:
  • 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 sugar free salted caramel syrup.
