cold-brewed iced coffee

cold-brewed iced coffee

i read about the cold brewing process in the nyt a few weeks back, ever since then i've been making it 2-3 times a week. the recipe is incredibly simple, takes no time whatsoever and the results are pretty spectacular.

1 -mix 5-7 tablespoons of ground coffee (i prefer la colombe) into 2 quarts of cold water.
2- cover.
3- let sit for anywhere from 12-24 hours depending on how strong you desire, i like it in the 12-18 hr stength.
4- strain using a coffee filter and a sieve.
5- pour over ice and cut it down with a bit of water to taste.
6- i mix in a touch of milk, which is completely optional.
7- store it in the fridge.
