I used to make this once per week. I’d divide it between two quart mason jars, add chocolate syrup and sugar then top with cashew milk. Then I just had to shake and pour over a glass of ice for an iced mocha in the morning. I think it’s time to go make some cold brew!

I keep cold brew coffee concentrate in the frig. In the morning I put 1 or 2 ounces in a coffee cup, add hot water and half and half and enjoy smooth hot cofcee with no acid or bitterness. It’s also wonderful for iced coffee. Just put a lkt of ice in a glass, tben wafdr, then cold brew concentrate to taste, then half and half. Delicious!

In reply to Kathy Hester. This is probably a dumb question, but I've never seen or had cold pressed coffee so I must ask anyway! You actually drink the coffee cold, you don't add hot water, only cold water when you mix the concentrate with your choice of liquid? My husband enjoys cold coffee, even espresso, but I am not a fan. I have started a batch in our FP and will see if he'd like some in the morning before work. Thanks for your help!

In reply to Leigh Ann Long. It is a concentrate. I usually pour about 1/3 concentrate and 2/3 nondairy milk, but it will depend on how strong you like your coffee. You can even make your concentrate stronger by adding more coffee to water in the French Press. If you like your coffee black you can add water to dilute it to your desired strength.

So the recipe above is for the concentrate? If so, how much concentrate per cup of coffee? I love this idea.

OMG, I must be making Jet Fuel. I use 2 1/2 cups of ground coffee (on the coarsest grind) to 3 or 3 1/2 cups of water and I let it brew for a few days. I mix about 4 ounces of my cold brew with some Silk Vanilla Creamer and unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. So yummy! I just scoop the coffee into a 1 1/2 liter glass jar and then add water. I use a wooden chopstick to mix it all up so the grounds sink to the bottom, but I have to wait a couple of hours so they can absorb the water and be heavy enough to sink. Then I just strain it using a 4 cup glass measuring cup, with a strainer on top and a coffee filter in it. My stomach can’t handle coffee regularly brewed with hot water. Cold Brew has saved me!
