36 g coffee dark roast, brazilian 360 g water 12 oz, not distilled
Combine 36g (1.2 oz) dark roasted brazilian coffee with 360g (12 oz) room temperature water in a french press or other container
Store in fridge for 12-24 hours
Remove coffee grounds from water either by straining
Serve within 24 hours
Do not use distilled water - the lack of minerals impairs taste
You can substitute the Brazilian coffee with Sumatra or Colombian
We didn't use a decaf coffee because decaf isn't really coffee , but if you're set on it, you can use a decaf coffee
This recipe is designed for a single service (12 oz), but scales up linearly - 100 grams of coffee per 1000 ml of water will make almost 3 servings
We recommend a french press here, but you can also use a cheesecloth or other strainer
This recipe also makes fantastic coffee ice cubes that don't overpower the drinks you put them in
