Instructions
For making cold crew coffee concentrate:
Insert the stopper at the bottom of the maker and dampen the filter and place it in the container
Add 1 cup of water followed by 6 ounces of ground coffee
Slowly pour 3 more cups of water over the grounds, in a circular motion.
Wait 5 minutes, then add the remaining 6 ounces of ground coffee.
Finally, slowly add the last 3 cups of water.
Do not stir (stirring the bed of grounds can result in a clogged filter).
Lightly press down on the topmost grounds with the back of a spoon to ensure all grounds get wet.
Let this steep for about 12-24hours at room temperature
Filter your coffee i.e. remove the stopper and let the concentrate flow into the decanter. Takes about 30 mins
This cold crew coffee concentrate stays fresh for about 2 weeks in refrigerator
For Serving:
To make Iced coffee - mix 1 part of coffee concentrate with 2-3 parts of water/milk over ice. Sweeten it to taste if required.
Notes
The method mentioned is applicable for the particular type of cold brew maker used by me. But you can also do cold brew using a simple glass jar/pitcher.Simply add your coffee and water, stir and then allow it to steep for 12-24hrs and then filter using fine mesh seive and/or cheese cloth.
