| 1 | Put the coffee in a large jar and pour the cold water over it | 1 min |
| 2 | Stir well with a long spoon | 1 min |
| 3 | Cover and steep in the fridge 12–24 hours | 18 hr |

How to Tell It's Done
- until all the coffee is wet
Tips
- Coarse grind only: a fine grind draws out bitterness over the long steep, and the drink comes out cloudy.
More Ways
- Steep 12–24 hours (24 recommended) and strain through a fine sieve or paper filter.
- Keeps in the fridge 3–4 days; serve over ice or dilute with water or milk.
