Enjoy a cup of cold brew coffee! You don’t need to drive to a coffee shop to get a cup of cold brew. Make your own at home!
You will need:
Coffee beans
Coffee grinder
A one-half gallon container for brewing and a one-half gallon sealed container for storing
Coffee filter or cheese cloth
Water
Funnel
Instructions for 8 cups of cold brew:
Take 1-1/2 cups of coffee beans and put them in the grinder set to coarse grind.
Add the ground coffee to the brewing container.
Slowly add 8 cups of good tasting water. If it doesn’t taste good to you, it may not make good coffee.
Cover the container and steep in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Longer than 12 hours is ok, but not more than 24 hours.
Filter through coffee filter or cheesecloth with a funnel into the storage container. This may require some patience.
You can keep the sealed container in the fridge.
To serve, add to a glass with ice cubes and drink it black, or add your choice of the following:
Creamer
Milk
Half and half
Simple syrup or flavored syrup
Lemonade
Enjoy!
