How To Make Cold Brew Coffee At Home
Cold brew coffee recipe! Today’s post will show you all you need to know about making cold brew coffee at home without any expensive gadget and tips on how to make the best.
Ingredients
- 1 cup medium to dark roast coffee beans
- 4 cups cold water
Instructions
- Measure out coffee beans of choice, then grind in a coffee grinder until the texture is coarse. This would yield about 1 cup of ground coffee.
- Transfer the coarsely ground coffee into a jar then fill it with 4 cups of cold water, give it a gentle stir just enough to get the granules wet, then cover it with its lid.
- Leave it to sit in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours to steep and infuse beautifully.
- Strain the coffee through a small hole sieve and cheesecloth, transfer it into an airtight jar and, store it in the fridge for up to one week. Dilute concentrated coffee with water accordingly, serve and enjoy!Note: for every ¼ cup of coarsely ground coffee use 1 cup of water. The end result will be a little less than a cup of cold brew as the ground coffee also absorbs the water as it infuses.
Notes
How to strain cold brew coffee
French press method: pour the mixture into a French press and plunge.
Strainer and cheesecloth: place the strainer with a small home on a container, then place the cheesecloth in the sieve. Pour the cold brew through the strainer and let it do its thing.
Filter paper: this is my least favorite way of doing it, while it keeps out coffee sediments out from the cold brew, it does take longer to stain. Still using a small hole sieve-like above, place the filter paper in the sieve, pour the cold brew through it and let it strain without any interruption.
how to store
It would keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks but I recommend 1 week for a great and better-tasting brew.
