- 600 ml cold filtered water
Equipment
- Jar or pitcher
- Coffee grinder
- Digital scale

Optional
- Paper filter for a cleaner cup
Steps

- Cover and steep in the fridge for 14–16 hours.
- Strain through a paper filter or fine sieve into a clean bottle.
- Serve over ice, diluted with water or milk to taste — the concentrate is strong.
Tips
- Keeps up to a week in the fridge, so brew a big batch on Sunday.
- Coarse grind is essential; fine grounds make it muddy and bitter.
