Ingredients
☕ 1 cup Organic Coffee Beans
💧 4 cups Water
🥥 Homemade Cashew Milk
Instructions
1- Grind the Coffee Beans:
- Use your Cuisinart coffee grinder to grind 1 cup of organic coffee beans to a medium-coarse texture, similar to what you would use for a Chemex coffee maker.
2- Mix Coffee Grounds and Water:
- In a Mason Jar, combine 3/4 cup of the ground coffee with 3 cups of water.
- If using a larger container, use the 1 cup coffee to 4 cups water ratio.
3- Shake and Steep:
- Secure the lid tightly on the jar and shake well to ensure that all coffee grounds are fully immersed.
- Place the jar on your countertop and let the mixture steep for 12 to 15 hours at room temperature.
4- Strain the Coffee:
- After steeping, prepare a large measuring bowl and position a fine mesh sieve over it.
- Line the sieve with two layers of cheesecloth.
- Carefully pour the steeped coffee through the cheesecloth-lined sieve into the bowl to get a clear concentrate.
5- Store the Concentrate:
- Once strained, decant the cold brew concentrate back into a clean Mason Jar and refrigerate until use.
6- Serve Your Cold Brew:
- Pour the concentrate over ice and dilute with water or homemade cashew milk to your liking.
- A splash of milk or creamer can add a rich, creamy texture, if desired.
