Cold Brew Coffee Recipe
Give your day a little extra kick in the pants with this strong Cold Brew Coffee Recipe! No special equipment required, and I'll share the secret for the perfect ratio! Brewing your own cold brew concentrate at home means you can be sipping on rich, smooth, and totally irresistible cold brewed coffee any time you want!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ground Coffee (if grinding your own beans, opt for a medium to coarse grind)
- 4 cups Cold Water (use filtered water for best flavor)
Instructions
- Gather your cold brew coffee recipe ingredients and supplies.
- Add coffee grounds and water to an airtight pitcher, stir, and place in the refrigerator overnight to steep. For the smoothest flavor, you'll want to steep around 18 - 20 hours.
- After your coffee has finished steeping, pour Coffee slowly through Coffee Filter before serving. This process will take several minutes… but I promise it’s worth it!!
- For stability, I placed my Coffee Filter in a small colander. You could also use a metal strainer instead of a coffee filter.
- Once the coffee has dripped through, you're ready to enjoy!
- To serve, just pour into your favorite glass or Mason Jar, add a little cream, and sip away!
- Storage Tips: Store your cold brew coffee in an airtight glass container (like a large mason jar with lid) to avoid exposure to oxygen. This will help protect the intense flavors from diluting. For freshest flavor, use within 5 - 7 days. As with all coffee, the sooner you use it, the better the flavor!
- Prep Ahead Tips: You can also freeze your cold brew in ice cube trays, transfer the cubes to an airtight container or freezer bag, then store in the freezer to prep ahead and enjoy later.
Notes
How To Make Cold Brew Coffee Stronger:
- To avoid watered down coffee with regular ice, make up a second batch and freeze it in ice cube trays!
- When ready to enjoy, just pop some cold brew ice cubes in your glass, fill with cold brew coffee, and enjoy your STRONG coffee as the ice melts!
