To make two cups of cold brew coffee to enjoy throughout the day, start with about 4 tablespoons of ground coffee. Place these in the container you’ll be leaving in the fridge over night.
Pour 1.5 cups of water over the coffee and stir.
Depending on your container, cover the coffee to steep overnight. We use a blender bottle and just screw the top on and give a good shake.
Let this coffee mix sit in the refrigerator for as long as you’d like. We usually leave it for about 12-16 hours. The longer the better.
When it’s all nice and dark, place about 4-5 ice cubes in a glass and place a filter on top of it. We use a small strainer used for tea to help keep the coffee grounds out of our glass. Pour the coffee carefully over the strainer and into your glass.
This coffee is strong! We recommend diluting it with water and seeing how you like it. We skipped this step, thinking we could handle it, and let’s just say we had a jittery few hours running around doing everything imaginable on hyperdrive. Easy does it.
At this point, you can enjoy the cold brew coffee nice and cold, or add some cream, almond or coconut milk, Stevia, cinnamon or cocoa powder. We sip it black, as the flavor is mild and actually enjoyable!
