Who doesn’t love an amazingly good aromatic tasty iced coffee?

Especially one with 67% less acidity than some of the other more bitter flavoured iced coffee blends out there! 

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

9 tablespoons good quality drip coffee.  No rules. The choice of coffee is yours.

9 cups water

1 coffee filter or a cheesecloth

2-3 ice cubes

Milk (optional)

Sugar to taste (optional)

 

Method:

Pour your water into a carafe and to it add your coffee.  Remember, a stronger more aromatic coffee will result in a richer taste!

 

Cover the carafe with a plate or cheesecloth and leave it to stand overnight (or for at least twelve hours) in a cool space.  This will enable the water to extract all that delicious coffee flavour from the coffee beans.

 

Next, take the cheesecloth you used to cover the carafe (or a coffee filter) and line it in a fine mesh sieve or colander which you will place over a large pitcher or bowl.

 

Transfer the liquid coffee extract in the carafe into the large pitcher (or bowl) by pouring it through the sieve.  You will be left with a filtered out cold brew coffee concentrate that’s packed with rich, full, intense flavour – and without the bitterness or acidity that often comes with boiling coffee in hot water.

 

To serve:

Pour 1 part coffee concentrate (approximately two fingers) into a glass with 2-3 ice cubes and add water and/or milk.  

If you’re craving some extra sweetness, add some sugar to taste.
