How to Make Cold Brew Coffee
First thing’s first: cold brew coffee is not iced coffee. It’s brewed with cold water instead of hot water and must be steeped overnight. Making cold brew coffee requires a bit of patience, but we promise it’s worth it for a smoother, sweeter coffee
Follow these simple steps for a batch you’ll want to brew again and again.
What You'll Need
2 pitchers
Measuring cup
1 cup Folgers® coffee grounds
5 cups distilled or filtered water
Large spoon
Strainer
Cheesecloth or coffee filter
Step 1
Measure & Mix
Add 1 cup of Folgers ground coffee to a pitcher and stir in 5 cups of water.
Step 2
Chill & Stir
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 12 hours. Then remove it from the fridge and stir.
Step 3
Remove Grounds
Line a strainer with cheesecloth. (If you don’t have a cheesecloth, a coffee filter will work just fine.) Pour the coffee mixture through the cheesecloth and strainer into a separate pitcher.
Step 4
Dilute It
Cold brew coffee is more concentrated than other coffee. For the recommended cold brew ratio, stir in another 1½ cups of water. Serve and enjoy.
