Making cold brew coffee at home is so easy! And your iced coffee will never taste watery or bitter again.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Steeping time 12 hours hrs
Course Breakfast, Drinks
Cuisine American
Coffee or spice grinder (if grinding the beans at home)
1 1/2 quart (or larger) glass, ceramic, or plastic container
Small strainer
Cheesecloth or coffee filters
Bottle or jar, for storing your cold-brew
- 1 cup whole coffee beans coarsely ground
- 4 cups water filtered prefered
Transfer the coffee grounds to the container you're using to make the cold brew. Pour the water over top. Stir gently with a long-handled spoon to make sure the grounds are thoroughly saturated with water.
Cover the jar with a lid or a small plate. Let the coffee steep for about 12 hours. The coffee can be left on the counter or refrigerated; steeping time is the same.
Line a small strainer with cheesecloth or coffee filter and place over a large measuring cup or bowl. Pour the coffee through the strainer.
Transfer the coffee to a small bottle or jar and store in the fridge for up to a week.
Dilute the coffee with as much water, milk, or creamer as you prefer. Serve over ice or warm for a few minutes in the microwave.
