Homemade Cold Brew 

¾ Cup - 1 Cup Ground Coffee: We recommend Organic ¡Tierra! for Planet or ¡Tierra! for Amazonia for the smoothest taste 

3-4 Cups of Water 

Simple Syrup

1 Cup Water 

1 Cup Sugar 

Add-Ins 

Fresh Mint Leves 

Half and half, cream, or any non-dairy substitute of your choice

French Press or Pitcher

COLD BREW

• Add coffee grounds and water to a large pitcher or French Press.
• Stir to make sure all the grounds are wet and place in the fridge 12-24 hours to steep.
• Strain the coffee into a fresh pitcher using a nut milk bag and discard/compost the grounds. If using a French Press just push down the handle and depose of the grounds once finished.
• Place back in the fridge to store.

SIMPLE SYRUP

• Combine the water and sugar in a pot and place on the stove over medium heat. Bring to a low simmer and let cook for about 10 - 15 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid has reduced a bit.
• Pour into a glass jar (like a Mason jar) and let cool completely.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to a month.

MINT COLD BREW ASSEMBLY

• Add 3-4 mint leaves to the bottom of a tall glass. With a muddler, back of spoon, or straw, muddle the leaves slightly to release the oils.
• Add ice cubes to the glass.
  
• Add in cold brew coffee to nearly fill the glass.
  
• Add in a splash of the simple syrup (or any other liquid sweetener of choice) to the cold brew and stir to combine.
  
• Add a splash of half & half, milk, cream, or any non-dairy alternative you prefer, and enjoy!
