What You Will Need

Before we dive into the steps, let's first prepare the tools and ingredients you will need:

• Coarsely ground coffee beans
• Filtered water
• Coffee filter
• Large pitcher or jar
• Measuring cup or scale
• Mixing spoon

Step 1: Measure the Coffee and Water

The first step is to measure the coffee and water. For every cup of coffee, you will need ⅓ cup of coarsely ground coffee beans and 1 ½ cups of filtered water. If you want to make more, simply adjust the measurements accordingly.

Step 2: Mix the Coffee and Water

After measuring, mix the coffee and water in a large pitcher or jar. Make sure that the coffee grounds are fully submerged in the water. Use a spoon to stir the mixture to ensure that all the coffee grounds are wet.

Step 3: Steep the Coffee

Once the coffee and water are mixed, it's time to steep the coffee. Cover the pitcher or jar with a coffee filter, and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least 12-24 hours. The longer you steep, the stronger the coffee will be. If you prefer a lighter brew, steep for 12 hours. For a stronger brew, steep for 24 hours.

Step 4: Filter the Coffee

After steeping, it's time to filter the coffee. Take another coffee filter and place it over a glass or pitcher. Slowly pour the coffee mixture over the filter, and let it drip. You can also use a fine-mesh strainer to help filter the coffee. Once all the coffee has been filtered, discard the coffee grounds.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Finally, it's time to serve and enjoy your filter cold brew coffee. You can add ice, milk, sugar or any other flavorings that you prefer. Store the remaining coffee in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
