I was told to reduce the acid in my diet by my Dr. I did not want to give up coffee, and found that cold water brewed coffee has 67% less acid. I now want to drink nothing else, it blows hot water brewed coffee away. Read more So rich, mellow, flavors you never tasted before. See less
Ingredients
- Makes Cold water Processed coffee Concentrate.... shopping list
- 1 lb of your favorite coarse-grind coffee, try any kind...experiment shopping list
- 8-9 cups cold water shopping list
- large non-lead glass bowl or pitcher. shopping list
- Use a french press if you prefer to make smaller amounts, put in grounds and plunge when 18 hours has passed. shopping list
How to make it
- Important coffee is not finely ground, make sure its coarse, it is too hard to filter later if not.
- Pour coffee into pitcher or bowl, then cold water over it
- Cover and let sit for 18-24 hours. Yes, its a long time, but this will make coffee concentrate, enough for about 30 + cups of delicious, perfect coffee.
- Once the time is up, use a strainer and paper towels to filter coffee into a different pitcher.
- Pour filtered concentrate into sterilized glass containers...I used glass bottles that I would have otherwise recycled. I filled up 2 empty Jim Beam Whiskey bottles. I am from Ky and we love Beam!
- To make a cup: heat up some water in your mug in the microwave, or teapot, then pour coffee concentrate in to taste. I like about 3-4 tbsps to 1 cup water, make as strong or weak as you prefer.
- Drink cold or hot, the concentrate keeps for 1 week in fridge or even longer in freezer.
