Ingredients
- 1/2 lb coarsely ground coffee beans (About 2 2/3 cups)
- 1 gallon filtered water
Instructions
- Add the coffee grounds to a large, sealable container, then pour the water over. Stir to make sure all the coffee grounds have gotten wet, then seal and let steep for 12 hours.
- Once steeping's over, set up your filter. A mesh filter with a coffee filter resting in it should do the trick of catching all the smaller bits, but it will be a little slow going. Pour as much of the unfiltered cold brew over the double filter, then let it rest to drip out. Use a spoon to help it along, if desired.
- Depending on your love of caffeine, the finished coffee concentrate can be enjoyed on it's own with some ice, mixed equal parts with water, or with a splash of cream.
Notes
Note: If you used a finer ground coffee, like what you get at the store, don't fret, just let it steep for closer to 8 hours instead of 12, unless you're really hankering for that extra caffeine.
