Cold brewed coffee - recipe

Have you tried this?
I've been making it for a few weeks now and I think its really good for iced coffee. Less bitter then regular brewed.
What you do is get a quart jar, add 1 cup of ground coffee, fill it up with water, shake, then set it on the counter 12-15 hours. The next day strain it twice. I use a small strainer the first time then put a coffee filter in the next time. Then use about 1/4 cup of this concentrate, add milk or flavored creamer, if you need sugar you will need to use sugar water or sweet & low so it will dissolve. If you want hot coffee just add boiling water to the concentrate instead. |

| Never heard of cold brewed coffee, but I am going to try this tonight. We rarely drink hot coffee anymore, but I make a very strong pot of coffee, doctor it up and put it in the refrigerator for DH to drink all day at work. This might be even better. Thanks. |

| I made this last night and strained it today, it brewed for about 15 hours. I strained with a fine pasta colander first then twice with a coffee filter. It is really smoother than the iced coffee I usually make, which is just double strength brewed coffee poured over ice or frozen coffee cubes. The flavor is good, definitely less bitter. I will try it tomorrow with boiling water in the morning. Either way, I will use it for iced coffee from now on. Thanks for the directions and link. I've seen coffee toddy directions but didn't try it because I didn't want to use a whole pound of coffee, in case I didn't like it. This was a good way to start. |

| I'm intrigued. Is it a regular medium grind, like for drip coffee? |

| You just use regular ground coffee, or have it medium ground if you prefer. Add the grounds, then the water to the qt jar and your ready to go. I think its great! I would like to find a easier way to strain it though. I am thinking of finding a french press. |

| Interesting. I wonder if you tied the coffee up in cheesecloth before putting it in the water, or used a tea infuser, if it would still infuse properly. I'm gonna try to remember to make some of this tomorrow. |
