To prepare cold brew, combine coarse coffee grounds with cold water in a container. A common ratio is one part coffee to four parts water. Let this mixture steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Afterward, strain the coffee concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve, cheesecloth, or a coffee filter to remove the grounds. Dilute the concentrate with water or milk to your desired strength and serve over ice. It can also be heated gently for a warm beverage.
How it differs from similar foods
