Instructions
- In a large container, combine coffee beans and water. Make sure all the coffee beans are covered and saturated.
- Cover and allow to sit at room temperature overnight, 24 hours is ideal.
- Set a fine mesh strainer, (optional: line with cheesecloth), over a pitcher or another container. Slowly pour coffee mixture through strainer, allowing all the liquid to seep through. You may need to help push the liquid through the strainer. Pour the mixture through the strainer one to two more times to ensure all the grounds have been caught. (This is where a cheesecloth comes in handy.) Discard grounds after filtering.
- Place coffee in the fridge, in a sealed container and allow to chill until ready to use.
- To make an iced coffee, add 1 cup ice cubes to glass. Add a 1:1 ratio of coffee to water in class and mix well. Add sweetener and milk to taste, stir well. Taste and adjust milk and sweetener if needed.
- Sit back and enjoy!
