Perfect Homemade French Press Cold Brew Coffee

Step 1

Place coffee grounds in the bottom of a French press.

Step 2

Fill the French press halfway with cold water and stir to saturate the coffee grounds. Add the rest of the water, leaving enough room for the lid to sit on top with the mesh filter pulled up.

Step 3

Stir the coffee and water again and put the lid on the French press with the plunger pulled all the way up. Place in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours (18 hours is recommended for optimal flavor).

Step 4

Slowly depress the plunger to filter the coffee.

Step 5

Serve cold brew coffee concentrate in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio with milk, water, chocolate milk, hot cocoa, flavored creamer, or any other beverage you want.

Step 6

Store any remaining concentrate in airtight jar, bottle, or pitcher in the fridge for 7-10 days.
