Equipment

1 pint-sized glass jar with lid
1 Cheesecloth fine-mesh sieve, or coffee filter

Ingredients

1 ½ cups water
1 ½ tablespoons coarsely ground coffee freshly ground is best
¼ cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons Keto sugar substitute
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Combine the coarsely ground coffee beans and cold water in a jar.
Stir well to make sure all the coffee grounds are submerged in the water.
Cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for at least twelve hours, overnight, or up to twenty-four hours. Don’t worry, it won’t be bitter. You can shake the contents a few times but don’t have to.
After the steeping time, strain the cold brew using a cheesecloth, fine-mesh sieve, or coffee filter to remove the coffee grounds. Discard the grounds.
Mix in the optional sweetener and vanilla, if using. Pour over ice or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Upon serving pour the optional milk into the coffee and stir to combine well.

Notes

Use high-quality coffee beans for the best flavor.
Use a coarse grind coffee if you’re sensitive or prefer an extra smooth flavor.
Play with the coffee-to-water ratio based on your desired strength. Use more ground coffee for a stronger brew or reduce the amount for a milder one.
Scale the serving size up or down depending on how many people you have to serve.
Taste and adjust the milk and sweetener before serving. I always recommend tasting while cooking so you can get to know the dish and adjust it as you like best.

Serve: Pair a cold brew with anything you like to eat with coffee.

Store: Store plain or sweetened keto cold brew coffee in an air-tight jar for up to two weeks in the fridge. Add milk just before serving.
