I’ve been making this cold brew coffee for Luke lately and while I am a tea drinker through and through, this is good stuff. Smooth and not bitter. They say it’s easier to digest. It might just make me a coffee convert. Just maybe. But having the concentrate ready in the fridge is handy and it tastes great!

We make this in a 12 cup French press but you could make it in any container and strain it through cheese cloth.

Coarsely (coarse matters!) grind 12 oz whole coffee beans.
Add 4 cups room temperature water.
(Yes, those measurements are correct, it’s going to look like a ton of grounds in there.)
Stir well and let sit on the counter for about 12 hours.
Press the grounds with the French press and pour the coffee concentrate into a seal-able glass container, like a mason jar, and keep in the fridge up to a week.

For iced coffee: Add 3-parts cold water, ice and cream and one-part cold brew concentrate
For hot coffee: Add 3-parts boiling water and one-part cold brew concentrate

Don’t worry about making it exact, it will still be good with less or more. Enjoy!
