Ingredients

1 cup coffee beans coarsely ground
4 cups filtered water

Instructions

If not already, coarse grind the beans. Make sure not to grind too finely, the texture should be like sand.
Place ground coffee into nut milk bag and into 4 cups of filtered water.
Let steep for 12 hours (or a bit longer for stronger brew). Afterwards remove bag from liquid, dispose of coffee grinds, and pour cold brew into container with a lid.
That's it!

Recipe Notes

Some tips:

Make sure not to over-grind the beans. That will make the cold brew bitter.
For stronger cold brew, steep the beans for longer. You can always taste the cold brew after 12 hours and see if you want to let it sit a bit longer. I don't recommend brewing it for longer than 13 hours.
Get GOOD quality coffee beans for best flavor!
White specks on top of the cold brew might form once it's been in the fridge. Don't worry! That's totally normally. These are just coffee oils that have crystallized in the fridge.
