Cold Brew
This recipe is taken from "the Most Perfect Iced Coffee" by the Pioneer Woman. I've been making this for years and it is delicious!
Equipment
- 12 quart food grade storage bin with lid
- Cheese Cloth
- Hand Held Strainer
- Spatula
- Food Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Coffee I love mine rich and smooth
- 8 quarts Filtered Water
Instructions
- Pour coffee grounds into storage bin
- Pour filtered water onto coffee grounds
- Using a spatula, mix coffee and water together making sure all the grounds touch the water.
- Cover with lid and let it brew for 8-24 hours but at least 8 hours. I like to do this right before I go to bed.
- Once finished brewing, line a handheld strainer with cheesecloth.
- Pour cold brew into an empty container through the cheesecloth lined strainer.
- As you pour, the grounds will pile up in the cheesecloth. Use a spatula to push the grounds aside allowing you to continue to pour the brew through the cloth without grounds building up and overflowing out of the strainer.
- Throw away left over sludge/grounds (or use them in your vegetable garden as compost!).
- Store coffee in beverage containers in the refrigerator and use as needed
