Pour the coffee powder in a carafe with one liter of cold water and stir. The
Vessel covered e.g., With a plate or cling film in the refrigerator leave for 12 to 24 hours.
Pour the contents through a sieve into another container to collect most of the coffee grounds. Strain the collected coffee through a coffee filter.
Now we have a pretty strong cold brew coffee extract that can be kept in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. To do this, pour into a clean screw-top jar or a sealable bottle.
For pure Cold Brew on Ice, I dilute the extract 1: 1 with cold water and add a few ice cubes. For mixed drinks, I think the strength is perfect.
Personally, I use Arabica coffee beans from a local roastery and I grind the coffee right before making it. I use a French press jug as a vessel, with which I can hold back most of the coffee grounds, but still strain through a coffee filter.
Good to know:
Cold-brewed coffee has twice as much caffeine as hot-brewed coffee and significantly less acid (nice for sensitive stomachs). Therefore, the topic would also be wrong if one were to use soluble coffee (instant coffee), because this is produced using heat and contains only half as much caffeine as regular coffee beans.
