Ingredients
Instructions
Use the ratio chart in the recipe notes to get the perfect brew! Then, follow the instructions below using the weights of coffee grounds and water.
Coarsely grind coffee. The grind should be much coarser than what you'd use for drip coffee, sort of like raw sugar crystals vs. granulated sugar.
Weigh grounds. Weigh your ground coffee and place in your brewing container.
Combine grounds + a little water. Add just enough cold filtered water to cover the grounds.
Stir to combine + add the rest of the water. Stir gently to ensure all grounds are wet and no dry pockets remain. Add the remaining water to your mix.
Add salt. Add a pinch of kosher salt, if using. For larger batches, use up to 1/4 tsp of salt.
Steep. Cover container and let steep for 12-48 hours either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Strain. Strain your coffee through a non-reactive mesh sieve to separate it from the grounds.
Double filter if desired. Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and position over a clean container. Slowly pour the cold brew through the strainer to filter out all grounds. You may need to do this in batches.
Store. Transfer strained cold brew to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
