Ingredients:

For the Cold Brew Concentrate:

- 400 grams of coffee beans (filter roast for a lighter taste or espresso blend for a richer concentrate)

- 2 liters of filtered water

Equipment:

- Grinder

- Toddy Cold Brew System (includes brewing container and decanter)

- Optional paper filter for the Toddy

- Coarse grind setting for the coffee

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coffee:

- Begin by grinding 400 grams of your chosen coffee beans to a coarse consistency, between the texture of filter and plunger grind.

2. Set up the Toddy Brewer:

- Wet the Toddy's reusable filter and fit it into the groove at the bottom of the brewing container.

- Insert the plug at the bottom of the Toddy to prevent leakage.

- If utilizing the optional paper filter, place it inside the Toddy brewer for better extraction and easier cleanup.

3. Brew the Coffee:

- Pour two liters of filtered water over the ground coffee, ensuring that the grounds are evenly saturated.

- If using the paper filter, gently stir the mixture to eliminate any dry spots. Skip stirring if you're not using the paper filter to avoid clogging.

- Cover the brewer and let it sit at room temperature to infuse for 20 to 24 hours.

4. Draining the Concentrate:

- After the infusion time, remove the plug and place the Toddy over the decanter to drain.

- Allow the coffee to filter through entirely and then seal the decanter with an airtight lid.

5. Storing:

- Store your cold brew concentrate in the fridge for up to 14 days.

6. Serving the Cold Brew:

- For a straightforward black cold brew, mix one part concentrate with one to two parts cold water over ice in a chilled glass.

- For a milk-based cold brew, replace the water with milk or a milk substitute at a ratio of one part concentrate to two parts milk.

- Feel free to get creative by using the concentrate in coffee cocktails or as a dessert ingredient.
