A 5-Minute Cold Brew Coffee | Food52 in 5

Because this cold brew coffee is steeped at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours, it’s less bitter and less acidic than regular brewed coffee, and—our favorite part—it’s much more caffeinated. SUBSCRIBE TO FOOD52 ►► http://bit.ly/2f1wNmq

HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT
-Grind beans a little more coarsely than you would for French-press coffee.
-Add the grounds to a large container, such as a mason jar or large pitcher (it works better if it has a lid, but you can make do with Saran wrap and a rubber band).
-Then add water; I like a ratio of ¾ cup ground beans to 4 cups water, but you can experiment to find out what works for you. Stir well.
-Let it sit! For at least 12 and up to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the more caffeinated your coffee will be.
-When you’re ready to strain, pour it through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth. If you don’t have cheesecloth, you can just use a regular coffee filter.
-The coffee concentrate will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks. When you’re ready to drink it, mix with hot water or hot milk at a 1:1 ratio, or to your taste.
