This is brilliant. Love it! I can’t get my cold brew brand locally anymore and this way I can use any coffee I like!

I love cold brew coffee so much and this is such a fantastic idea to use a colander especially if one doesn’t own a french press.
Heidi says
Thanks, Christie… it really is such a simple little trick! 🙂

Angela says
Thanks Heidi, I didn’t realise it was so easy to make cold brew! I’m off to make this now, but before I go I just wanted to say thanks, and that I will look through the other coffee recipes, they look great!
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Angela! Yes… cold brew coffee is really a cinch to make. Enjoy! 😉
Cindy says
I have been making this for months… love it!! They do make “filter bags” for this process, but instead of purchasing one of those I use knee highs. Yes, I said knee highs. I bought a package of the cheapies, washed them by hand and let them dry. I put the coffee grounds into a knee high and drop that into the pitcher of water (I stretch the top over the mouth of the pitcher then put the lid on so the “bag” is kind of suspended in the water). After 24 hours, I just have to remove the bag – Done! No waiting for the straining! I then dump out the used grounds, rinse out the knee high and let it dry.
Jill says
I use knee highs too! Glad to see that I’m not the only one!
