INGREDIENTS
- 1 large sterilised jar, container or French Press
- 250 g of course ground coffee (Starbucks Kenya/ Colombia/ combination)
- 1 litre fresh, filtered, room temperature water
METHOD
Add ground coffee into brewing vessel.
Slowly pour water over coffee grounds, ensuring all coffee is saturated.
Seal with a lid and allow to steep at room temperature for 12 -20 hours (longer steep = stronger brew).
After 12 – 24 hours steep time, using a cloth, strain the brew into a clean and sterilised storage container, such as a bottle or jug with a lid, to separate coffee grounds from Cold Brew concentrate.
If using a French Press, simply push down on the strainer and pour out into a storage container.
Discard coffee grounds in garden as a natural fertiliser and insect repellent; and store cold brew concentrate in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To drink, combine
1 part Cold Brew concentrate to 2 parts cold filtered water, or milk, topped with ice.
For a creamy but non-dairy options, it’s recommended to use Almond or Oat milk.
Flavour to preference using Vanilla or Caramel syrup.
