Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee



Cold-brewed coffee is actually completely simple to make at home using a Mason jar and a sieve. You just add water to coffee, stir, cover it and leave it out on the counter overnight. A quick two-step filtering the next day (strain the grounds through a sieve, and use a coffee filter to pick up silt), a dilution of the brew one-to-one with water, and you’re done. Except for the time it sits on the kitchen counter, the whole process takes about five minutes (recipe below).

INGREDIENTS

  •  cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind is best)
  •  Milk (optional)

PREPARATION

  1. In a jar, stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups cold water. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours
  2. Strain twice through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water, or to taste. If desired, add milk.
  3. To make hot coffee, dilute concentrate one-to-one with water and heat in the microwave.
