Instructions
Making Cold Brew Concentrate
- Combine coarsely ground organic coffee with cold water. If you prefer your coffee dark, increase the amount of grounds to 1 cup.1/2 cup coarsley ground coffee, 30 oz cold water
- Let your coffee sit for 12-18 hours. The longer it sits, the stronger it gets.
Making Coffee Ice Cubes
- Add some of the cold brew to an ice cube tray and freeze for 4-5 hours.
Making Blended Iced Coffee
- Combine coffee ice cubes, milk, cold brew concentrate, and milk/creamer in a blender.1/3 cup chilled cold brew concentrate, 1/4 cup milk of choice or half-and-half or creamer, 8 coffee ice cubes {instructions below}
- Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until the coffee is creamy and smooth.
Notes
- Each ice cube in the tray I used is 3/4 oz.
- If your blender struggles with actually blending ice, let the coffee cubes sit for 10 minutes with the milk and cold brew. This will soften them up a little bit to make for easier blending, while still giving the coffee an icy base.
- You can use whatever milk works best for your dietary needs.
- Once you've strained your cold brew, get another batch started and make more ice cubes.
