- ⅔ cup medium grind coffee beans
- 3 cups cold water
In a mason jar, add coffee grounds to the bottom. Pour enough water over the grounds just enough to saturate them. Swirl around or use a long spoon to agitate the coffee grounds for a minute or two. Pour the rest of the water over the top, cover, and let sit overnight, or about 12 hrs.
Using a cheesecloth or nut milk bag, strain the steeped coffee into a clean bowl. Repeat if necessary, though we find one round of straining using a nut milk bag is sufficient for us. Keep in a covered jar in the refrigerator.
When ready to use, dilute with a bit of water or even up to a 1:1 ratio of coffee concentrate to water, as desired.
