Ingredients

Difficulty: Beginner

  • 100g coffee, coarse grind
  • 800g cold filtered water
  • 1:8 concentrate ratio
  • Large jar or cold brew vessel
  • Fine mesh strainer and paper filter
  • Ice and milk to serve

Method

  1. 1

    Combine the coarse grounds and cold water in the jar, stirring until every ground is wet.

  2. 2

    Cover and steep in the fridge for 16 hours; longer gets stronger, so taste from 14 hours on.

  3. 3

    Strain through a mesh sieve, then again through a paper filter to catch the fines.

  4. 4

    Serve the concentrate over ice, cut roughly 1:1 with water or milk. It keeps for up to two weeks refrigerated.
