The Perfect Cold Brew Coffee
You will need:
1 cup of medium to dark roast coffee beans
4 cups of cold water
Cold brew coffee maker or a large jar
Coffee grinder
Coffee filter or cheesecloth
Instructions
- Start by grinding your coffee beans to a coarse texture. This will ensure that your cold brew doesn't turn out too bitter.
- Next, place your ground coffee in your cold brew coffee maker or a large jar. This will be your brewing vessel.
- Slowly pour the cold water over the coffee grounds. Make sure to pour in a circular motion to evenly distribute the water.
- Stir gently to ensure all coffee grounds are soaked. This will help extract the flavors from the coffee.
- Cover your brewing vessel and let it steep for 16-24 hours at room temperature. The longer you let it steep, the stronger your coffee will be.
- After steeping, filter the coffee using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Make sure to do this slowly to avoid any coffee grounds in your brew.
- Now, your cold brew coffee is ready. Serve it over ice and enjoy. You can also add milk or sweetener if you prefer.
