How To Make Homemade Cold Brew Coffee With Ground Coffee
Cold Brew Coffee is a refreshing alternative to the usual hot cup of joe, especially during the hot summer months. Making a batch of cold brew coffee at home is actually super simple and takes just a few simple steps and some patience.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole coffee beans
- 4 cups filtered water
Instructions
- Coarsely grind the coffee. The grind here matters - you want a rough, cornmeal like consistency, not a fine powder.
- Combine the coffee grinds and the water. Add the coffee grounds to a mason jar or a large pitcher. Pour the water over the top of the grounds and gently stir to combine.
- Allow the grounds to steep overnight (about 12 hours) in the mason jar, either in the refrigerator, or on the counter.
- Strain the coffee. Using a cheesecloth and a strainer, strain the coffee grounds from the cold brew, allowing the cold brew to flow through to a bowl or measuring cup.
- Store. Transfer the cold brew coffee to a mason jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Serve! Serve the cold brew with additional water, milk or cream to help dilute it to your liking. Serve cold.
