Instructions
In a glass jar, stir together the coffee grounds and 1½ cups cold water.
Cover and let the coffee concentrate rest at room temperature overnight, 8 or 12 hours.
Using a coffee filter, or a strainer lined with a cheesecloth, strain the coffee mixture twice to make sure all the coffee grounds are removed.
In a glass filled with ice, add equal parts water and coffee concentrate. Pro Tip. You can use more or less water to achieve the strength you enjoy.
