  • Add the water and ground coffee beans to a mason jar or other glass storage container. Then, leave it on your counter to steep for 12 to 15 hours. 
    Making cold brew
  • Strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve that's lined with a couple layers of cheesecloth over a large measuring cup or bowl. Alternatively, you could use a nut-milk bag or coffee filter on top of the sieve.

Notes

  • The recipe makes approximately 3 cups of cold brew concentrate in a mason jar. If you'd like to double that amount, I recommend you purchase this cold brew coffee maker. It makes twice as much! Watch how I use that larger cold brew coffee maker on Instagram.
