Method
1
Combine the coarsely ground coffee and filtered water in a clean jar or pitcher.
2
Stir gently until every ground is wet, then cover and refrigerate for 12–18 hours.
3
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth.
4
Transfer the filtered coffee to a clean, covered container and refrigerate.
5
Serve over ice, diluting with water or milk to taste.
Barista note: Taste before adjusting — a small change in grind, dose, ratio, or time usually makes the biggest difference.
