What you need
A clean covered jar with room for coffee and water, a strainer, a paper filter or clean coffee filter cloth, and a refrigerator.
Make a batch
- Add 60 g of coarsely ground coffee and 600 g of cool drinking water to your jar.
- Stir until all the grounds are wet. Cover and refrigerate for 12–16 hours.
- Strain out the grounds, then filter again if you want less sediment.
- Serve over ice. Taste, then add water or milk if it is stronger than you like.
- Keep filtered coffee covered in the fridge. Make small batches you will use promptly.
Find your balance
Try a medium roast with chocolate or nut tasting notes. Keep the same beans while adjusting dilution.
Cold brew needs advance planning. For iced coffee right now, try the iced pour-over recipe.
