How to Make Cold Brew at Home

Cold brew is the easiest great coffee you can make. It takes time, not skill.

Use coarse grounds. Fine grounds make it cloudy and bitter.

The ratio is 1 part coffee to 4 parts water. Stir to wet all the grounds.

Steep in the fridge for 12 to 24 hours. Longer is stronger. The cold water extracts slowly, which means less acid and bitterness.

Strain through a fine filter. A cloth or paper filter works.

Cold brew is smooth and sweet. Serve over ice, cut with water or milk to your taste.

It keeps in the fridge for two weeks. Make a big batch and enjoy it all week.
