Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Grind the coffee beans to a coarse grind.
  • Add the required grounds to your French press and the cold water.
  • Allow the mixture to steep for 12 to 24 hours.

Notes

If you don’t have a French press, you can use the immersion method. Place the grinds in a cheesecloth pouch before adding them to a jar or carafe. Or, allow the coffee grinds to soak directly in the water and use a coffee filter basket to strain the coffee grinds out.
