Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- Coffee Grinder
- Large Container with Lid
- Wooden Spoon
- Large Measuring Cup
- Fine Mesh Sieve
- Cheese Cloth or Coffee Filters (optional)
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Coffee Beans
- 48 ounces (6 cups) Cool Water
Instructions
- Coarsely grind the coffee beans in a coffee grinder. (I typically grind my beans in three batches, for just a few pulses each.)
- In a large jar, combine the ground coffee and cool water, stirring well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 18 hours, up to 24.
- After the coffee has steeped, place a fine mesh sieve over a large measuring cup or bowl. If using, line the sieve with damp cheese cloth or a coffee filter.
- Slowly pour the coffee through the sieve. Discard the grounds as desired.
- To store the cold brew until ready to serve, rinse out the container you brewed the coffee in and pour the strained cold brew back into the container.
- Serve over ice with your favorite sweeteners and creamers as desired!
- Leftover cold brew coffee can be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
- If desired, you can strain the coffee a second time.
- 6 ounces of whole coffee beans equates to roughly 2 dry cups of whole beans.
- Refer to post for additional notes on coffee beans, serving, and steeping options.
