What You'll Need

• French Press / Hario Mizudashi / Large batch steeper
• French Chicory Cold Brew
• Water
• Half and Half
• Sugar (for simple syrup)

STEP 1

Weight out 20 oz. of ground coffee and 128 oz of cold water. This is your ratio, so if you are looking to scale up, do so accordingly.

STEP 2

Gradually add water in a circular motion, saturating all the coffee grounds. You can even take a long spoon to thoroughly mix the coffee. Cover with the plunger of French Press and let steep for 12-16 hours – either on your kitchen counter.

STEP 3

After you let the cold brew sit for 12 - 16 hours, depress French Press mesh strainer until all coffee grounds are at the bottom of the press. Pour cold brew concentrate into pitcher. This can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Compost the used coffee grounds.

STEP 4

We recommend sweet and creamy French Chicory Cold Brew. Our favorite sweetener is simple syrup and half and half for the cream.

For the simple syrup:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup white sugar. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. Cool for 20 minutes.
