Ingredients
Coffee beans
8 ounces (Coarsely ground)
Whole milk
1/2 cup (Very well chilled)
Instructions
1
In a large, clean container, combine the coarsely ground coffee with 6 cups of cold water. Stir well until fully mixed. Cover the container tightly and let it steep in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, depending on your desired strength.
2
After steeping, place a fine mesh strainer over a large mixing bowl. Line the strainer with damp paper towels or cheesecloth to catch any coffee particles. Carefully pour the steeped coffee into the strainer, allowing it to filter through. If necessary, strain the coffee more than once until it is clear and free of sediment. Once filtered, transfer the cold brew to a pitcher with a lid and refrigerate.
3
For the cold foam, pour the chilled whole milk into the carafe of a French press or a milk frother. If using a French press, secure the lid and pump the plunger 5 to 6 times until the milk thickens and forms a light foam with very small bubbles. Avoid over-pumping to maintain the airy texture.
4
To assemble the drinks, fill two tall glasses three-quarters full with ice cubes. Pour the cold brew coffee over the ice, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top for the foam. Carefully spoon or pour the cold foam on top of the coffee, allowing it to float beautifully. Serve immediately for the best experience.
5
Store any remaining cold brew in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to a week, allowing for fresh, delicious coffee each day.
