Embrace the refreshing taste of homemade cold brew coffee, perfect for sweltering summer days! This easy and budget-friendly recipe delivers a smooth, mellow caffeinated treat that you can prepare effortlessly at home. Never overpay at a café again.

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.
