Unlike most iced coffee recipes, this slow-steeped cold drink never uses warm water for brewing. Try it today.
Ingredients
2 cups whole coffee beans
4 cups water, at room temperature
Instructions
COARSELY grind coffee beans. Combine with water in a 1.5-L jar. Let stand at room temperature, covered, for 24 hours.
STRAIN through a large coffee filter or cheesecloth.
FILL a glass with ice. Add equal parts coffee concentrate and cold water or milk. (Concentrate makes about 6 six cups of iced coffee.)
Tip: Sugar won't dissolve well in cold coffee, so if you want to sweeten, use simple syrup, or, for an extra decadent brew, try sweetened condensed milk.
