How to make cold brew coffee:
- Start by choosing a container of the right size and make sure it’s clean.
2. Measure your coarsely ground coffee in the ratio 3/4:4 (3/4 cups coffee to every 4 cups of water).
3. Add the grinds to a washed cloth bag that can fit into your container. Secure the open end with a thread.
4. Pour water into the container. Immerse the bag into the water. Cover the container with appropriate lid.
5. Put it in the fridge. Let it steep for at least 12 hours for a complete extraction – the longer you steep the more concentrated the extract is (without negative effects)
6. Transfer the coffee to another jar.
7. You can always dilute the brew if you feel it’s too strong.
If you made a large batch, here’s the good news! You can store it in the fridge for about 14 days, though freshly brewed coffee tastes the best.
