Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Ice cubes approximately 2 cups
  • ½ cup coffee beans medium ground
  • 16 ounces 205°F Hot Water 2 cups

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If grinding your own coffee, grind the beans on a fine-to-medium grind, as you would for drip-brew. Begin heating the water to just under a boil, or 205°F.
  2. Place a large carafe (or vessel that will hold the coffee) on a kitchen scale, zero it out, and weigh out the ice cubes. Place a strainer lined with a coffee filter on top (or the method you will be using to hold the coffee grounds). Add the ground coffee to the filter.
  3. Pour the hot water in a circular motion over the grounds from the center outward, just until the coffee is wet, then stop. Allow it to sit for about 30 seconds; it will likely bubble up and rise. Then, continue pouring water in a circular motion over the grounds until they are coated. Once the water reaches close to the top of the filter, stop pouring and give it time to drip through. Continue this process until 16 ounces of water have been poured through.
  4. Prepare 2 glasses with fresh ice cubes. Pour the brewed coffee over the ice and serve as desired with creamer or flavorings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Serving Size: makes approximately 2 1/2 cups of coffee; over ice, this is the perfect amount for 2 servings.
  • Less Strong: add more ice when brewing to make it less strong from the start; keep in mind that the ice in your serving glass will further dilute it, too. You can also add more water before serving if it is too strong for your liking.
