Cold brew cuts the bitterness and acidity of hot coffee, leaving you with something smoother and naturally sweet. Coarse grounds steep overnight in cold water, then strain twice for clarity. Dilute with water or milk over ice.

Ingredients

4 servings

112 ounces high-quality coffee beans (about 4 cups), coarsely ground
1Milk (optional; for serving)
1A 12-cup (or larger) resealable container or stockpot with lid; a coffee filter or cheesecloth

Instructions

Place ground coffee in 12-cup container. Slowly pour 6 cups cool water over grounds. Stir very gently just until grounds are moistened. Seal container and chill 24 hours.
Strain coffee grounds through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl. Strain again through coffee filter into a large bowl or 3-cup (or larger) resealable container. (Alternately, skip the straining and use a thick filter, like for a Chemex.) To serve, pour over ice and dilute 1:1 with water or milk.
