You don’t need to make your Cold Brew Coffee 2 quarts at a time like we did. You can convert our measurements. For example, to make 1 quart, use 1/2 cup of ground coffee.

Make sure that your bags are completely submerged in the water. Cover your cold brew mixture, and let it set for 18-24 hours. You can let it brew on a counter or in your refrigerator. Either one is totally fine! The colder it’s brew spot, the longer you will want your coffee to steep.

Once you are done brewing, remove the bags, and store in a pitcher with a lid or mason jar in the fridge.
