Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Serve with milk cream, or half and half

Instructions

  • Into a large lidded jar add coarsely ground coffee beans, cinnamon (freshly ground is amazing!), and brown sugar. Add the water, stir to combine, and cover with a lid. Refrigerate overnight or 18 to 24 hours to steep.
  • The next morning, when brewed, strain into a large bowl with a coffee filter lined sieve. Discard coffee grounds. You may need to repeat the process until there is no remaining residue. This may happen is the coffee grind was too fine.
  • Serve over ice with added milk, cream, or half and half. Refrigerate the remaining cold brew in an airtight container, which will keep for 2 weeks -- if it lasts that long.
