Method
1
Combine dry ingredients : Add coarsely ground coffee and cinnamon stick to your cold brew maker or large jar
2
Add water : Pour room temperature filtered water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated
3
Stir gently : Mix to ensure even saturation, then cover
4
Steep : Let steep at room temperature for 12 hours (or refrigerate for up to 16 hours for stronger flavor)
5
Strain : Remove cinnamon stick and strain through fine mesh or cold brew filter
6
Sweeten : Stir honey into the concentrate while it's still at room temperature for easy mixing
7
Serve : Dilute 1:1 with milk or water over ice, adjust to taste
Barista note: Taste before adjusting — a small change in grind, dose, ratio, or time usually makes the biggest difference.
