Learn how to make cold brew at home! I like making a big batch at once and storing it in the fridge for quick, easy cups of coffee throughout the week.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cupsfresh coarsely ground coffee*
  • 3 cupsfiltered water
  • milk or plant milk (optional, for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the ground coffee in a 28-ounce mason jar, or similar. Add the water, then stir. Cover and set aside for 12 to 24 hours at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Spread a piece of cheesecloth in a fine mesh strainer and place it over a large bowl. Pour the coffee into the bowl to strain it. Store the strained coffee in the fridge.

  3. 3

    When ready to serve, pour over ice and add milk, if desired.

  4. 4

    If the coffee is stronger than you'd like, dilute it with water or additional milk, as desired.
