Make Cold Brew Coffee At Home (you will never go back!)

I’m going to get straight to the point here.

I. Love. Coffee.

As a nutritionist, I can tell you that your craving for afternoon coffee has everything to do with adrenal dysfunction or blood sugar…

But I’m not going to get into that today, because the reality is, on a warm summer day in Seattle, there is nothing better than sipping a super smooth, rich, icy cup of cold brew coffee.

Cold brew coffee is stupid easy to make in any case, but this method blows all others out of the water.

Concerned about caffeine? Here’s a great resource for you.

Let’s get to it.

WHAT YOU NEED

• 9oz. coffee beans (choose your favorite roast), ground course

• 3.5 cups (28oz.) filtered water, room temperature

• 2-quart French press, or 2-quart measuring cup

• Cheese cloth, old (clean) T-shirt, or nut-milk bag (skip this if using a French press)

• Himalayan or Celtic Sea salt (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In the French press or measuring cup, place the ground coffee beans. Gently add the filtered water, ensuring all grounds are immersed, let sit for 10 minutes.

2. Gently stir the grounds to re-wet them. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours.

3. If using a French press, press and pour into a glass container with a tight-fitting lid. If not using a French press, filter through cheese cloth, T-shirt, or nut milk bag, and store in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid.

4. To serve, dilute 1:1, water to concentrate (or pour over ice). Add cream or sugar, if that's how you dig it, and enjoy pure bliss!

This concentrate can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
