To make cold brew coffee, you will need coarsely ground coffee beans, cold water, a container, and a filtration method such as a sieve or cheesecloth. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:
-
In a container, combine 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee beans with 4 cups of cold water.
-
Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated with water.
-
Cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours for the coffee to steep.
-
Once the steeping time is up, strain the coffee concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the grounds.
-
Dilute the concentrated coffee with water or milk to your desired strength.
-
Serve the cold brew coffee over ice and enjoy!
Cold brew coffee is smooth, less acidic, and perfect for hot summer days. Feel free to customize the recipe by adjusting the coffee-to-water ratio and steeping time to suit your taste preferences.
