Recipe Notes

You can use pre-ground coffee beans, but I have found that fresh ground taste much better.

You can steep your coffee grounds for 12-24 hours. I prefer 24, it creates a stronger cold brew taste. The 12 hour brew tastes pretty watery to me, but it depends on your personal preference.

If you forget about your brew or it comes out too strong, simply dilute it by adding more cold water when serving.
