Ingredients: 1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans. 4 cups cold water. Ice cubes optional. Milk or cream optional. Sweetener optional.
Instructions: Put the coarsely ground coffee beans and cold water in a large jar or pitcher. Make sure the coffee grounds are fully wet by stirring them. Take the jar or pitcher out of the fridge and cover it. Leave it there for at least 12 hours or overnight to steep. To get rid of all the coffee grounds, strain the cold brew concentrate into a clean container through a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter. To serve, add water or milk to the cold brew concentrate until it's the strength you want. If you want to change the taste, start with a 1:1 ratio. If you want, you can add ice cubes and sweetener or cream to taste. Enjoy your ridiculously simple cold brew coffee that you made yourself!
