COLD BREW ICED COFFEE

Steps:

• Grind the beans in a coffee grinder on the coarse setting; the ground coffee should resemble coarse sugar or sand.
• Cut a 6-by-6-inch double thickness of cheesecloth. Put the coffee in the middle and tie tightly with kitchen twine. Put the sachet in a pint Mason jar or other 2-cup glass container. Add the cold water and seal tightly. (If you prefer, you can just add the coffee directly to the cold water and strain through cheesecloth after steeping.)
• Refrigerate and steep for at least 12 hours, though 18 to 24 hours is best. Remove the sachet, press to extract as much liquid as possible back into the jar and discard the sachet.
• To serve, pour equal parts cold brew concentrate and cold water over ice. Add milk and sweetener if using.

Steps:

• Put coffee grounds in a large container. Slowly pour water over the grounds.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and steep at room temperature for 18 to 24 hours.
• Line a strainer with several layers of cheesecloth and place atop a pitcher; strain coffee through the cheesecloth into the pitcher. Discard the grounds. To get a clearer brew, strain coffee again through coffee filters. Store in refrigerator.

COLD BREW COFFEE

Steps:

• Put 400ml cold water into a large jug or jar and add the coffee grounds, but do not stir the mixture. Cover and leave to steep for 24hrs.
• Gently stir the mixture then pour it through a funnel or sieve lined with coffee filter paper (or a sheet of kitchen paper) into another large jug. This concentrate will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days.
• To serve dilute 1 part cold brew with 2 parts still or sparkling water (or to your taste) and serve with lots of ice.

Steps:

• Stir together the coffee grounds and water.
• Cover and let sit overnight.
• Strain through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer. Strain 2-3 times to remove grounds and silt.
• This creates a concentrate; to dilute to appropriate proportions, add one part water to one part coffee (i.e., use 1/2 cup coffee concentrate and 1/2 cup water). Add water or coffee concentrate to adjust to your personal tastes.
• For hot coffee, put it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
• For iced coffee, refrigerate and serve over ice.
