Easy Cold Brewed Coffee Recipe

Making this cold brewed coffee recipe at home is insanely simple… particularly after you have made it for the first time. I have a simple process down where I am basically continually brewing this coffee because I love it so much. No need to buy expensive pre-made cold brewed coffee with unknown additives and preservatives.

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Coffee coarse ground
  • 8 Cups Water Preferably filtered

Instructions

  • Place the beans into a food processor or coffee bean grinder. We want the beans to be coarse ground. You can also buy them very coarse ground if you prefer (French Press grind).
  • In a large container that will fit into your refrigerator, add the water.
  • Add in the ground coffee beans and stir gently.
  • Cover the container and place in the refrigerator for 18 to 24 hours. Stir around 12 hours if you would like.
  • Using a superfine strainer or a fine strainer lined with cheesecloth, strain the cold brewed coffee into a pitcher.
  • Discard the spent coffee grounds and refrigerate the cold brewed coffee until ready to consume.

Notes

Quick non-cooking tip: if you want to do something with the spent coffee grounds, plants love them. I toss them into the garden every time I make this recipe… plus I think that it keeps some of the critters away from our plants (not sure about this, but I think so!).
 
As always, please RATE or at least COMMENT on the recipe if you have made it or like the looks of it… all my recipes are NON-AI GENERATED and it is difficult to stay afloat with all the untested recipes that are flooding the search results. Thanks so much-
