If you can stir some ground coffee into water, then strain it out later on, you can totally make this.  \n**You can customize it however you'd like.** Once you have your cold brew, you can flavor and sweeten your drink in any way that you like.\n\n## 💭 What is Cold Brew Coffee?\nWhen making regular, hot, drip coffee, it's brewed by passing hot water through ground coffee beans. This results in your regular old cup of joe that we're all familiar with.\n\n*Cold Brew Coffee*, on the other hand, is made by infusing ground coffee into cold or room temperature water. No heat is ever involved\\!\n\nBecause no heat gets applied when making cold brew, you have to instead rely on *time*. It takes quite a bit of time for cold brew to be ready to drink: anywhere from 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you like your brew.\n\n## 📝 Ingredients\nYou only need TWO ingredients to make this cold brew coffee.\n\n![ingredients to make cold brew coffee](https:\/\/anerdcooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cold_brew_coffee_ingredients.jpg)\n\n- **Water**: Just plain old water will do. I prefer to use filtered water (just the stuff that comes out of the dispenser in the door of my fridge) when making coffee. I use it in my espresso maker, when I a pour over, and when I make cold brew. I find that it results in a better tasting product.\n- **Ground coffee**: You can either grind your own beans or use a pre-ground coffee. I've done both with good results. If you grind your own, you want to go with a course grind. I've also relied on pre-ground coffee; use your preference. I've used [Dunkin' Donuts](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3RF5rDx) and it works out well\\!\n  You can use just regular coffee, or seek out beans that are roasted specifically for cold brew. I love [this brand](https:\/\/littlewaves.coffee\/collections\/current-coffees\/products\/st-als-cold-brew-blend), which is based in North Carolina. This isn't an affiliate link. I just really like them.\n\n![a glass of cold brew coffee](https:\/\/anerdcooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cold_brew_coffee1.jpg)\n\n## 👩🏻‍🍳 How do you make cold brew coffee?\nIt's very simple to make! All you need to do is add your ground coffee to water and mix it all up to ensure that the coffee is fully submerged in the water. Stash it in the fridge or leave it on your counter top. Once it has \"brewed,\" you just need to strain out the grounds and dispose of them. That's it\\!\n\nYou can make your cold brew in a pitcher, a Mason jar, or in a container that's made especially for making cold brew. I have [this pitcher](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cn0Ju8), and am kind of in love with it.\n\n### Doctor it up however you like\\!\nOnce you have your cold brew, you can jazz it up however you'd like.\n\nMy MO is to pour some cold brew over (lots of) ice, add a splash of half and half and a bit of salted caramel syrup. Do this and I'll be in caffeinated heaven.\n\nIf you like to drink it black, have at it. You can add whatever milk (dairy or otherwise) you'd like, and sweeten it (or not) to your heart's content. It might also be fun to freeze some cold brew into ice cubes and use that instead of regular old watery ones, that way your cold brew never gets diluted\\!\n\n![cream being poured into a glass of cold brew coffee](https:\/\/anerdcooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/cold_brew_coffee2.jpg)\n\n## 🔗 Other coffee recipes\nNeeding other coffee recipes?

For the vast majority of you out there, this will not be new information. But I only recently discovered this. I've never been a coffee drinker. Like not at all.

They're delicious. But they can't come close to the cracky goodness that cold brew provides. Looking for more coffee recipes ? Try an Iced Vanilla Latte and my Chocolate Cream Cold Brew !

This recipe makes a pitcher of cold brew coffee to help you get your day and week off to a good start. It's so easy to make! There's very little effort involved in making this cold brew. If you can stir some ground coffee into water, then strain it out later on, you can totally make this. You can customize it however you'd like. Once you have your cold brew, you can flavor and sweeten your drink in any way that you like. 💭 What is Cold Brew Coffee? When making regular, hot, drip coffee, it's brewed by passing hot water through ground coffee beans. This results in your regular old cup of joe that we're all familiar with. Cold Brew Coffee , on the other hand, is made by infusing ground coffee into cold or room temperature water. No heat is ever involved! Because no heat gets applied when making cold brew, you have to instead rely on time . It takes quite a bit of time for cold brew to be ready to drink: anywhere from 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you like your brew. 📝 Ingredients You only need TWO ingredients to make this cold brew coffee. Water : Just plain old water will do. I prefer to use filtered water (just the stuff that comes out of the dispenser in the door of my fridge) when making coffee. I use it in my espresso maker, when I a pour over, and when I make cold brew. I find that it results in a better tasting product. Ground coffee : You can either grind your own beans or use a pre-ground coffee. I've done both with good results. If you grind your own, you want to go with a course grind. I've also relied on pre-ground coffee; use your preference. I've used Dunkin' Donuts and it works out well! You can use just regular coffee, or seek out beans that are roasted specifically for cold brew. I love this brand , which is based in North Carolina. This isn't an affiliate link. I just really like them. 👩🏻‍🍳 How do you make cold brew coffee? It's very simple to make! All you need to do is add your ground coffee to water and mix it all up to ensure that the coffee is fully submerged in the water. Stash it in the fridge or leave it on your counter top. Once it has "brewed," you just need to strain out the grounds and dispose of them. That's it! You can make your cold brew in a pitcher, a Mason jar, or in a container that's made especially for making cold brew. I have this pitcher , and am kind of in love with it. Doctor it up however you like! Once you have your cold brew, you can jazz it up however you'd like. My MO is to pour some cold brew over (lots of) ice, add a splash of half and half and a bit of salted caramel syrup. Do this and I'll be in caffeinated heaven. If you like to drink it black, have at it. You can add whatever milk (dairy or otherwise) you'd like, and sweeten it (or not) to your heart's content. It might also be fun to freeze some cold brew into ice cubes and use that instead of regular old watery ones, that way your cold brew never gets diluted! 🔗 Other coffee recipes Needing other coffee recipes?

This cold brew will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks. But let's be honest, you'll be making a new batch sooner than that. What kind of coffee should I use? You can grind your own beans or you can use a pre-ground coffee. You can also use any flavor or roast that you like! How should I prepare this coffee once it's been brewed? However you like! I like to add some half and half and a little flavored syrup. But you do you. Homemade Cold Brew Coffee Lauren Pacek It could seriously not be easier to make cold brew coffee at home.

Cold brew is a completely different experience from drip coffee. I'm addicted, so I drink it any way it's made, but I prefer the smoothness of cold brew. Now can you pass me a glass through the computer screen? [Reply](https://anerdcooks.com/homemade-cold-brew-coffee/#comment-25755) 6.

Readable Markdown	It could seriously not be easier to make cold brew coffee at home. All it takes is two ingredients and a little time. Homemade cold brew coffee is amazing. For the vast majority of you out there, this will not be new information. But I only recently discovered this. I've never been a coffee drinker. Like not at all. I realize that this is pretty unusual. In the past, I've even made efforts to like it. I was obviously doing something wrong. Enter: cold brew. Don't get me wrong, I still love my [Iced Chai Lattes](https://anerdcooks.com/iced-chai-lattes/). They're delicious. But they can't come close to the cracky goodness that cold brew provides.

This recipe makes a pitcher of cold brew coffee to help you get your day and week off to a good start. It's so easy to make\! There's very little effort involved in making this cold brew. If you can stir some ground coffee into water, then strain it out later on, you can totally make this. You can customize it however you'd like. Once you have your cold brew, you can flavor and sweeten your drink in any way that you like. ## 💭 What is Cold Brew Coffee? When making regular, hot, drip coffee, it's brewed by passing hot water through ground coffee beans. This results in your regular old cup of joe that we're all familiar with. Cold Brew Coffee, on the other hand, is made by infusing ground coffee into cold or room temperature water. No heat is ever involved\! Because no heat gets applied when making cold brew, you have to instead rely on time. It takes quite a bit of time for cold brew to be ready to drink: anywhere from 12-24 hours, depending on how strong you like your brew. ## 📝 Ingredients You only need TWO ingredients to make this cold brew coffee. ![ingredients to make cold brew coffee](https://anerdcooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cold_brew_coffee_ingredients.jpg) - Water: Just plain old water will do. I prefer to use filtered water (just the stuff that comes out of the dispenser in the door of my fridge) when making coffee. I use it in my espresso maker, when I a pour over, and when I make cold brew. I find that it results in a better tasting product. - Ground coffee: You can either grind your own beans or use a pre-ground coffee. I've done both with good results. If you grind your own, you want to go with a course grind. I've also relied on pre-ground coffee; use your preference. I've used [Dunkin' Donuts](https://amzn.to/3RF5rDx) and it works out well\! You can use just regular coffee, or seek out beans that are roasted specifically for cold brew. I love [this brand](https://littlewaves.coffee/collections/current-coffees/products/st-als-cold-brew-blend), which is based in North Carolina. This isn't an affiliate link. I just really like them. ![a glass of cold brew coffee](https://anerdcooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cold_brew_coffee1.jpg) ## 👩🏻‍🍳 How do you make cold brew coffee? It's very simple to make! All you need to do is add your ground coffee to water and mix it all up to ensure that the coffee is fully submerged in the water. Stash it in the fridge or leave it on your counter top. Once it has "brewed," you just need to strain out the grounds and dispose of them. That's it\! You can make your cold brew in a pitcher, a Mason jar, or in a container that's made especially for making cold brew. I have [this pitcher](https://amzn.to/3cn0Ju8), and am kind of in love with it. ### Doctor it up however you like\! Once you have your cold brew, you can jazz it up however you'd like. My MO is to pour some cold brew over (lots of) ice, add a splash of half and half and a bit of salted caramel syrup. Do this and I'll be in caffeinated heaven. If you like to drink it black, have at it. You can add whatever milk (dairy or otherwise) you'd like, and sweeten it (or not) to your heart's content. It might also be fun to freeze some cold brew into ice cubes and use that instead of regular old watery ones, that way your cold brew never gets diluted\! ![cream being poured into a glass of cold brew coffee](https://anerdcooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cold_brew_coffee2.jpg) ## 🔗 Other coffee recipes Needing other coffee recipes?

This cold brew will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks. But let's be honest, you'll be making a new batch sooner than that. What kind of coffee should I use? You can grind your own beans or you can use a pre-ground coffee. You can also use any flavor or roast that you like\! How should I prepare this coffee once it's been brewed? However you like! I like to add some half and half and a little flavored syrup. But you do you. ![cream being poured into a glass of cold brew coffee](https://anerdcooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/cold_brew_coffee4-300x300.jpg) ## Homemade Cold Brew Coffee [Lauren Pacek](https://anerdcooks.com/about/) It could seriously not be easier to make cold brew coffee at home.
