- 2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large jar or French press, combine 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups of cold water.

Once steeping is complete, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove all coffee grounds.

Pour the cold-brewed coffee concentrate over the ice until the glass is about 3/4 full.

Optional: Add milk or cream, and sweeten with sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste. Stir well.
