Ingredients
- 2 tbsp ground coffee
- 240 ml cold water (1 cup)
- Milk or sugar, optional
Method
- Stir the ground coffee into the cold water in a jar, cover tightly and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
- In the morning, either strain it and drink it cold over ice, or warm it gently to just below boiling.
- Pour slowly so the grounds stay at the bottom, or strain through a paper filter for a perfectly clear cup.
Total steeping time is 8 to 12 hours. Preparation takes only a few minutes.
