How to Cold Brew Coffee Using a Mason Jar - Cold Brew Coffee Recipe

Use about 4oz (1 - 1 1/2 cups) of coarsely ground coffee beans. Pour the grounds into your mason jar and fill it half way with cold (or room temperature) water. Gently stir the mixture to ensure all the grounds are wet and then fill the jar the rest of the way with water. Put the lid on the mason jar with the coffee mixture, and place it in your refrigerator. Allow the coffee to steep for 12 to 24 hours (times may vary). Be aware that the longer it steeps, the stronger your coffee will be. After the 12 to 24 hours steeping time, set your strainer over the large bowl and place a coffee filter in the strainer. Pour the cold coffee mixture through the filter to catch the grounds. Rinse your jar out, and transfer the cold coffee from the bowl back into the jar for storage.
