Iced coffee is a delicious and refreshing drink, especially during hot summer months. One way to make this beverage is by brewing it overnight. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
What you’ll need:
- Coffee beans
- Water
- A large jar or pitcher
- A fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth
- Ice cubes
- Your favorite coffee fixings (milk, sugar, cream, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Grind your coffee beans coarsely. You’ll need one part of ground coffee for every four parts of water. For example, if you’re using one cup of coffee, you’ll need four cups of water.
2. Place the ground coffee in a large jar or pitcher.
3. Pour cold water over the coffee grounds, making sure they are completely covered.
4. Stir the coffee and water together until the grounds are fully saturated.
5. Cover the jar or pitcher and let it steep in your refrigerator overnight (10-12 hours).
6. After the coffee has finished steeping, strain it through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the grinds.
7. Pour the coffee over ice cubes in a glass and add your favorite coffee fixings.
Tips:
- Use good-quality beans and water for the best results.
