Cold Brew Coffee
Ingredients
1 cup (100 grams) whole coffee beans Arabica
1L water
Optional: 4 cups (907 grams) water
Method
1. Coarsely grind the coffee - Grind the coffee beans on the coarsest setting on your
grinder, or in short 1-second pulses in a spice grinder. The grounds should look like
coarse cornmeal, not fine powder. You should have just under 1 cup of grounds.
2. Combine the coffee and the water - Transfer the coffee grounds to the container you're
using to make the cold brew. Pour the water over top. Stir gently with a long-handled
spoon to make sure the grounds are thoroughly saturated with water.
3. Steep overnight - Cover the jar with a lid or a small plate to protect it from dust and bugs.
Let the coffee steep for about 12 hours. The coffee can be left on the counter or
refrigerated; steeping time is the same.
4. Strain the coffee - Line a small strainer with cheesecloth or flour sack cloth and place
over a large measuring cup or bowl. Pour the coffee through the strainer.
5. Store the coffee - Transfer the coffee to a small bottle or jar and store in the fridge for up
to a week.
Notes:
I. Dilute and Serve: Cold brew concentrate is quite strong, so you might prefer to dilute it
with water or milk according to your taste. Serve it over ice for a refreshing coffee drink.
