How to Make Cold Brew

- Grind coffee beans
- Put ground coffee into container and pour room temperature water over grounds
- Cover your coffee and water mixture, then leave it on your counter
- It is not necessary to place mixture in refrigerator as the coffee won’t spoil. It will result in colder cold brew when process is finished.
- After steep, filter coffee and water mixture
- Chill the coffee and serve when ready
*Cold brew can be kept in your fridge or on your counter for several weeks, just keep it covered. Unlike hot-brewed coffee, cold-brewed coffee will NOT become stale over time.
