Café extraído a frio

Ingredientes

• 3/4 cup coffee beans (coarsely ground, or ground coffee (about 2 ounces coffee by weight))
• 3 cups cold water

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Place ground coffee and water in a quart size mason jar or other container. Stir to combine, or seal the lid and shake gently.

2. 2

   Let the mixture steep for 12-18 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   Place a fine mesh strainer over a liquid measuring cup or other container. It is easiest if you strain the coffee into something with a pour spout so that you can transfer it to a mason jar for storage. Line the strainer with a few layers of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag.

4. 4

   Pour the cold brew through the strainer and let all of the liquid strain through.

5. 5

   Store cold brew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To serve, dilute the coffee concentrate to your desired strength. I use equal parts coffee concentrate and water. Serve with half and half or milk, as desired.
