Directions
- 1
In a large pitcher or jar, combine the coarsely ground coffee beans with 4 cups of filtered cold water; stir gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
- 2
Cover the container and let the coffee steep at room temperature for 12 hours, or for a stronger brew, refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- 3
Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth or a clean coffee filter, then place it over a large bowl or clean pitcher.
- 4
Carefully pour the steeped coffee mixture through the prepared sieve, allowing all the liquid to drain through completely without pressing the grounds, which can lead to bitterness.
- 5
Discard the used coffee grounds and cheesecloth.
- 6
To the cold-brew concentrate, stir in the vanilla extract, maple syrup, sea salt, cinnamon, and cardamom until fully incorporated.
- 7
Taste the cold brew and adjust sweetness or spice if desired, adding more maple syrup or spices in small increments.
- 8
To serve, fill a glass with ice, pour 1 part cold-brew concentrate, and dilute with 1 part cold water or milk/cream, stirring to combine.
- 9
Enjoy immediately, channeling your inner hero at every invigorating sip.
