How To Make Cold Brew Coffee (So Easy!)
Description
How To Make Cold Brew Coffee involves combining one cup of coarsely ground coffee with three cups of cold water and allowing the mixture to steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. This slow extraction method reduces bitterness and acidity compared to hot brewing. After steeping, the coffee concentrate is strained through a towel-lined mesh sieve or a French press, removing grounds for a smooth beverage base.
The concentrate is served by diluting it with water to preference, commonly about three parts coffee to one part water, but adjustable according to taste. Adding cream, milk, or simple syrup is optional and can be tailored for desired flavor and sweetness.
The cold brew concentrate can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, making it convenient to prepare in advance. Using room temperature or cold cream and milk helps maintain the refreshing chilled nature of the drink when served.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee 100 g, coarsely ground
- 3 cups water 700 mL, cold
Instructions
- Steep: In a large pitcher or jar, combine ground coffee and water. Cover and let sit in fridge for 12 to 24 hours.
- Strain: Strain the coffee concentrate through a towel-lined mesh sieve (or a French press).
- Serve: Fill glass partially with coffee, then top it off with water (I like ¾ coffee and ¼ water, but the strength is to your preference). Top with cream, milk, or simple syrup, to taste.
Notes
- Store cold brew concentrate in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks after steeping.
- Adjust strength by varying the coffee-to-water ratio when serving.
- Add cream, milk, or simple syrup to taste, often less sweet than hot coffee additives.
