This summer soul friend told me about making iced coffee as a way to beat the heat but still provide the necessary caffeine fix. She mentioned a recipe she saw in the NY Times last summer for cold brewed coffee. It only takes about 5 minutes to make and doesn't have the bitterness that brewed and cooled coffee sometimes does. So I thought, why not give it a try! Luckily you can drink it cold or hot perfect for those occasional warm days during fall.
1/3 cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind)
water
In a jar, french press or other container stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 12 hours. Pour through press, strain twice through a coffee filter or sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water.
To make hot coffee, dilute concentrate one-to-one with hot water.
