Cold Brew

Iced Coffee is a nice refreshing beverage.  I have wanted to make Cold Brew concentrate for a while now, so finally I did.  It is very easy to make and the result is delicious.  Start by grinding one cup of your favorite coffee beans.  Be sure it is a course grind - the beans should look like coarse cornmeal.  Put the ground coffee into a 2 quart container - you can use a French Press, Mason Jar - whatever you have available.  Pour 4 cups of water over the coffee and stir.  You let the mixture sit covered for about 12 or more hours.
Strain the mixture using a strainer lined with cheesecloth into a beverage container.  Place the concentrate covered in the refrigerator.  When ready to use, put ice in a glass and pour the concentrate over the ice.  Add some half and half or whatever you like in your coffee.

Note:  If you like sugar in your coffee, use a simple syrup to sweeten your Cold Brew.

Your Cold Brew is ready to enjoy.
