How To Make Your Own Cold Brew Coffee
Wouldn't it be amazing to have a coffee shop in your own kitchen? Well, this will not give you that but it is a close second! Cold brew coffee is very easy to make and an economical choice compared to your daily Starbucks trips.
Yield: 6 Cups
Equipment
- 1 Cold Brew Jug I bought mine on Amazon for $20
- 1 Glass Jar (If using the traditional method)
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl (original method)
- 1 Tea Towel (original method)
Materials
- 1 Cup Ground Coffee of choice Can also use decaf coffee
- 6 Cups Water
Instructions
- First, measure 1 cup of ground coffee (you may grind the beans yourself or use pre-ground coffee) and add it to the metal strainer of your coffee jug. If using the Original method, pour grounds directly into your glass jar.
- Next, add your water. Fill to the max fill line in the coffee jug. If using the original method, add 5 or 6 cups of water (depending on how strong you want your coffee to be) directly to the jar with the coffee grounds.
- Put the lid on and place in your fridge for 12-24 hours. Choose the longer time if you like a bolder taste.
- Now that the coffee has slow brewed for several hours, it is time to separate the grounds from the coffee. If you are using the coffee jug, simply remove the strainer from the jug, replace the lid and shake. Enjoy!If you are using the original method, line a mixing bowl with a tea towel and pour the contents of the jar into the bowl. Grab the corners of the towel and make them meet. Lift the towel from the bowl and grab the bottom with your hand. Twist until all of the liquid is squeezed back into the bowl. Set aside your coffee grounds.Pour the bowl contents into the jar, place on the lid, and shake. Enjoy!
Notes
Keep refrigerated. Cold brew coffee will last about a week or so before it starts to lose its flavor.
