To make cold brew concentrate, combine 12 oz of coarsely ground coffee with 1.8 litres of cold water and let it steep for at least 20 hours. Place the grounds in a container, pour the water over the top and stir until every ground is wet. After steeping, pour the mixture through a paper coffee filter into a carafe. You will end up with about one litre of concentrate, which keeps in the refrigerator for up to four weeks. To serve it plain, mix half a cup of concentrate with three large ice cubes and about half a cup of cold water for a 12 oz drink. For an iced latte, replace the water with milk, almond milk or coconut milk. The roast matters: for drinks made with dairy or plant milk, a dark roast such as Rio Roast holds its flavour best, while a lighter roast suits cold brew served with water.
