Adjust the flavour of your cup to your preferred taste by adding more or less water. Give your coffee press cold brew a twist by serving it with a touch of cream, coconut milk or seltzer.

QUICK TIPS

Don’t have a coffee press? You can use any container for cold brewing. To separate the coffee grounds, carefully pour the coffee through a fine sieve or coffee filter.

Have some leftover cold brew? Freeze it into ice cubes for a ready-made treat on a hot day.
