Every iced coffee-lover should know this easy method for how to make Cold Brew Coffee. Serve it a splash of cream over ice for the best iced coffee ever!
Stir together the water and coffee in a large measuring cup with a pour spout. Cover and let it sit at room temperature overnight (about 12 hours, or up to 24 hours for a stronger concentrate).
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve (or a regular sieve lined with cheeseclotinto a French press. Insert the French press plunger and slowly press down (this is the second part of the double straining).
Store your cold brew concentrate in the fridge for up to 1 month.
For iced coffee, fill a tall glass with ice and add equal parts of coffee concentrate and water (or to taste). If desired, cream/milk and/or sweetener to taste.
This recipe yields 3 cups of cold-brewed coffee concentrate. To serve, I use ½ cup cold brew + ½ cup water + a handful of ice. If desired, you can add your favorite sweetener to taste.
