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.
