Ingredients
✅ ¾ cup coarse ground coffee (or 2 oz by weight)
✅ 3 cups cold water
Instructions
1️⃣ Add the coffee grounds and cold water to a quart-size mason jar or similar container. Stir or shake gently.
2️⃣ Let the mixture steep for 12-18 hours at room temperature or in the fridge.
3️⃣ Place a fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup and line it with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag.
4️⃣ Pour the coffee through the strainer and let it fully drain.
5️⃣ Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
6️⃣ To serve, dilute the concentrate with water (1:1 ratio recommended) and add milk or sweetener as desired.
Notes
✔️ Use filtered water for the best flavor.
✔️ Try it with decaf coffee or a mix of regular and decaf.
✔️ Compost your coffee grounds instead of tossing them in the sink!
