Simple Café Bustelo Cold Brew by Ashleeangel

Ingredients

• 1 cup Café Bustelo espresso ground coffee
• 4 cups cold filtered water
• Cold water or milk, to serve
• Ice, to serve

Instructions

1. Add the Café Bustelo grounds to a large mason jar or pitcher.
2. Pour 4 cups of cold filtered water over the grounds and stir gently to make sure all the coffee is saturated.
3. Cover the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 to 18 hours — 12 hours gives a smoother brew, 18 hours gives a stronger, more intense concentrate.
4. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and line it with a coffee filter or a few layers of cheesecloth. Pour the steeped coffee through slowly, letting it drip without pressing — this keeps the brew clear and clean.
5. Transfer the strained cold brew concentrate to a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
6. To serve, fill a glass with ice and pour the cold brew over the top. Dilute with equal parts cold water or milk to taste, or drink it straight if you prefer a stronger cup.
