Notes
Tips for Recipe Success
Use coarsely ground coffee
Coarse grounds are preferred for cold brew as they allow for a slower extraction process and help prevent the brew from becoming too bitter.Experiment with coffee-to-water ratio
You can adjust the coffee-to-water ratio based on your preference for strength. Start with 1 cup of coffee to 4 cups of water and modify according to your taste.Steep in the refrigerator
If you prefer a smoother and less acidic cold brew, you can steep the coffee mixture in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature. This can help reduce any potential bitterness.Store leftover cold brew
If you have leftover cold-brewed coffee, the best way to store it is to transfer it to a sealed airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It can stay fresh for up to 1 week, allowing you to enjoy iced coffee whenever you like.Nutrition
