French Press Cold Brew
Servings 5 small servings of concentrate
French press cold brew is actually really easy to make and only takes a few minutes of prep.
Ingredients
- 158 grams (2 cups - 1 tablespoon) coffee beans medium-dark to dark roast
- 946 grams (4 cups) filtered water
Instructions
- Grind your beans coarsely. One pulse is enough.
- Add the coffee grounds to the bottom of the French press.
- Pour the water over the top and stir gently to make sure all the coffee grounds are wet.
- Place the lid on (but do not push the plunger down!).
- Let it sit on the counter overnight.
- It needs to sit for 16-24 hours. The exact time depends on your preferences and your beans.
- Slowly press down the plunger, but not all the way down, of the French press until you meet resistance from the coffee grounds.
- If your French press isn't the best at filtering, then strain the coffee through a coffee filter into a jar. Otherwise, simply pour the concentrate into a jar with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- When serving, dilute it 1:1. So mix together 1/2 cup of the concentrate + 1/2 cup of milk or water and serve.
Notes
- The coffee beans should be ground even more coarsely than what is typically used for regular French press coffee.
- If you want strong coffee, let it sit closer to 24 hours.
