Foolproof At-Home Cold Brew Recipe

(At-home cold brew in action)

Hey Coffee Addicts and happy monday! We hope today has been productive and caffeine-filled. This week, we’ve got a fresh recipe for ya, just in time for this warmer weather we’ve been seeing here in Minnesota. Going out for every single coffee of the day isn’t always the most…economically viable option…so we’ve got an at home solution for you: foolproof at-home cold brew. Whip this up in a quick 15 minutes, let it steep for 12 hours, and enjoy your lovely, affordable, smooth cold brew in the comfort of your own home. Before you get too excited and run off to buy some beans, let’s dive into the recipe. 

 

What you’ll need:

(Coffee beans and grounds examples)

Ingredients:

1 C coarse ground coffee beans

4 C cold water

Supplies:

Large jar 

Cheesecloth 

Fine knit strainer 

This first step is important: if you buy your coffee and have it ground, make sure its ground on the coarse setting. If you’re grinding whole beans at home, this still applies. The coarsest setting on your machine will be perfect. For this recipe you’ll just need a cup of grounds, which will make about 3 cups of cold brew. Once you get used to the recipe, feel free to up your quantities for a larger batch!

Next, once you have your grounds, add 4 cups of cold water, poured over your grounds inside the large jar. Now, let this mixture sit for 10 minutes, and once a crust has formed on the top of the mixture, stir and then seal. Let your mixture sit at room temperature for 12 hours, or refrigerated for 24 hours. 

After the appropriate amount of time has passed, pour your mixture through a fine mesh strainer with a cheesecloth layered on top. Once you’re done straining compost your grounds or use them as free plant fertilizer! Now your cold brew is ready to enjoy. Top off with ice and your favorite creamer. Store any leftover cold brew in the fridge.
