Cold Brewed Coffee Recipes

HOW TO MAKE COLD BREW COFFEE

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Store the coffee Transfer the coffee to a small bottle or jar and store in the fridge for up to a week.
• Serve the coffee Dilute the coffee with as much water or milk as you prefer. Serve over ice or warm for a few minutes in the microwave.

COLD BREW ICED COFFEE

Steps:

• Grind the beans in a coffee grinder on the coarse setting; the ground coffee should resemble coarse sugar or sand.
• Cut a 6-by-6-inch double thickness of cheesecloth. Put the coffee in the middle and tie tightly with kitchen twine. Put the sachet in a pint Mason jar or other 2-cup glass container. Add the cold water and seal tightly. (If you prefer, you can just add the coffee directly to the cold water and strain through cheesecloth after steeping.)
• Refrigerate and steep for at least 12 hours, though 18 to 24 hours is best. Remove the sachet, press to extract as much liquid as possible back into the jar and discard the sachet.
• To serve, pour equal parts cold brew concentrate and cold water over ice. Add milk and sweetener if using.

• Fill a jug with the coffee and water, screw on the lid, and give a good shake. I use a clean Simply Apple bottle.
• Rest at room temperature for about 24 hours, giving a shake every now and then.
• Strain the coffee through a filter or a French press and decant into a clean jug or pitcher.
• Taste. If the coffee is too strong, dilute it to your liking. If it is too weak, add more coffee grounds and let sit out another day.
