Cold Brewed Coffee
"I couldn't find any other cold brewed coffee recipes here, but I noticed the large number of iced coffee drink recipes. The benefit of having cold brewed coffee is that you don't have to wait for hot coffee to cool down, which results in an old, bitter coffee flavor, nor do you risk watering down your drink with a lot of melting ice.
This is more of a guideline than a recipe. Amounts will depend on personal taste. Experiment with quantities to find a strength you enjoy.
Prep (active) time refers to amount of time to measure, mix, shake and strain.
Cooking (passive) time refers to time the coffee sits and brews."

This is how I make my cold brew! So delicious in the summer! I use 1lb of coffee to one gallon of water. -
Thank you for posting. This is the only coffee that I make now. It is so smooth, no acid. When I started making it, I used my regular coffee press. I use 4 C. of water to 1 C. of COURSE ground coffee. Let it sit for 24 hrs. then press and filter the coffee. I use 1 oz. of extract in a cup and fill with HOT water.
