Scale
Coffee Cold Brew
- 6 cups Water
- 1 cup Ground Coffee
For Serving
- Sweetened Condensed Milk, to taste

Instructions
- Make Cold Brew: Fill a pitcher or large container with 6 cups of water and add 1 cup of ground coffee. Stir to combine. Cover and let it steep at room temperature for at least 6 hours or overnight for stronger flavor.
- Strain the Coffee: Pour the coffee mixture over a sieve or strainer lined with cheesecloth to filter out the grounds, resulting in a smooth cold brew concentrate.
- Serve Over Ice: Pour the strained cold brew coffee over a glass filled with ice cubes to chill the drink instantly.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Add sweetened condensed milk to taste, adjusting the sweetness level according to preference.
- Finish with Heavy Cream: Drizzle heavy cream over the iced coffee for a rich, creamy finish. Stir gently and enjoy the harmonious flavors.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample your iced coffee and adjust with more sweetened condensed milk or cream if desired to achieve the perfect balance.
Notes
- Steeping time can be adjusted based on how strong you prefer your cold brew; longer steeping yields stronger coffee.
- Use good quality coarsely ground coffee for the best flavor extraction and easier straining.
- Serve immediately after adding ice and cream for optimal freshness and texture.
- Optional: add flavorings like vanilla extract or cinnamon for a twist.
- Store leftover cold brew in the refrigerator for up to one week.
