Step 1

Add ground coffee and cold water together in a large bowl. Stir briefly to combine. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (or up to 24 hours).

Step 2

Then remove the bowl, and place a strainer covered with a cheesecloth in a second bowl. Pour the coffee (and ground) over the strainer, and wait a minute or two until the liquid has filtered through the strainer. Discard the grounds and remove the strainer.

Step 3

Serve the coffee over ice, stirring in water to dilute the coffee at a 1:2 or 1:1 concentrate/water ratio. (Or whatever strength you prefer. I recommend just adding the water to taste.) Refrigerate the remaining coffee concentrate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.

Chef’s notes

The key to any good coffee is to begin with good beans. Buy your coffee beans fresh and whole, and grind them to a coarse ground just before brewing.

Cold brew coffee naturally tastes sweeter than traditional iced coffee, so you may not need to add sweetener.

Discard used coffee grounds responsibly; they are not good for garbage disposals.
