When I first read about cold brewed coffee, I had no idea what cold brewing was or that it could even be done. From my understanding, because the coffee grinds do not come into contact with hot water, less oils and acids are released so it turns out less acidic and very smooth.
This recipe from a New York Times article makes enough for 2 drinks, but I like to make a double or triple batch to keep in a glass carafe in the fridge:
- 1/3 cup of ground coffee
- 1 1/2 cups water
1. In a jar or pitcher, stir together the coffee grinds and water. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours.
2. Strain twice (once if you're lazy or you just can't wait for your caffeine fix) through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth into another jar or pitcher.
The resulting coffee will be pretty strong, so I like to make my iced coffee with 3 parts cold milk and ice and 1 part of the cold brewed coffee and some sugar of course.
