Cold Brewed Coffee
What you need
|
French press
Coffee grounds (ground for percolator (medium/coarse) if pre-ground)
Water (preferably purified)
Measuring cup
How to do it
If grinding coffee, about 6 seconds of grinding should do (a tad more is ok).
Mix coffee and water in french press in the following ratio: for every 1/3 cup of coffee grounds use 1.5 cups of water. You lose some liquid in the process (it gets absorbed into the grounds, or evaporates, or is stolen by ghosts or the wind). 4.5 cups of water (the above ratio times three) translates into just over 3.5 cups of finished coffee.
Put the brew thing someplace and leave it there for at least 12 hours.
Press. If you are going to leave it in the fridge for a long time, it's good to run it through another filter as well.
When drinking, cut with about an equal part milk (or water? haven't tried that). Don't cut with soda water (coffee soda sounds good tastes bad).
