Cold-Brew Iced Coffee

By ltrodrigu

This recipe produces enough coffee concentrate to make multiple servings of cold brew iced coffee. You can store the concentrate in the refrigerator and enjoy over the course of the following week.

Ingredients

• CONCENTRATE:
• 3 cups filtered water
• 1 1/4 cups medium-coarse ground coffee (slightly coarser than for a drip coffee maker)
• ICED COFFEE:
• 1/2 cup cold brew concentrate
• 1/2 cup filtered water, chilled
• Whole milk, optional

Preparation

Step 1

MAKE THE CONCENTRATE:

In a large French press or other quart-size vessel, combine ground coffee with 3 cups room-temperature water. Stir to combine and let sit 18 hours.

Strain coffee into a clean vessel, either by depressing the plunger of the French press or straining the liquid through cheese cloth. Press on grounds to release as much liquid as possible. You should have a little over 2 cups coffee concentrate.

Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 1 week for use in more cold-brew iced coffees.

MAKE THE ICED COFFEE:
Fill a large glass with ice and add coffee and water. Stir. Top off with whole milk, if desired.
