Ingredients
1/2cupground coffee
5cupscold waterdivided
1/4cupsugar
Instructions
Mix grounds and 4 cups water together in a bowl. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 12 hours or overnight.
Using a fine mesh strainer, covered with a paper towel to catch the grounds, strain the coffee concentrate into a pitcher.
For the simple syrup, place sugar and water in a small saucepan and heat until sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool for several minutes and then add to coffee concentrate.
To serve, pour over ice and add water/milk until you reach your desired taste.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
The perfect combo for me is 2 parts coffee concentrate to 1 part water and 1 part milk with a splash of vanilla. Served over ice and topped with whipped cream. The simple syrup is just right for me, but feel free to use less sugar if you like your coffee less sweet.
