Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place the coffee grounds in an 8-cup French press (ideal), a 2-quart glass mason jar, or a medium-sized glass bowl. Pour the water over the coffee grounds, cover, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours but no more than 2 days.
  • Press the French press stopper down to separate the grounds from the coffee, or strain the grounds through a fine-mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter. Pour the coffee into a mason jar or pitcher for storage.
  • To serve, mix 1 part cold-brew concentrate (about ½ cup) with 1 part cool water (about ½ cup). Serve over ice with your favorite coffee creamer!

Notes

If using a larger dispenser as outlined in the article above, fill the dispenser filter with 4 cups of coarsely ground coffee, then pour in about 13 cups of water. Refrigerate for 12-24 hours, then remove the filter, discard the coffee grounds, fill the pitcher with 3 more cups of water, and place back in the refrigerator. This will create a ready-to-drink brew!
