Ingredients

• 100 g coarsely ground coffee
• 750 ml cold filtered water, plus more to dilute
• Ice
• 200 ml milk or plant milk, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Stir the coffee and cold water together in a jar or cafetière until all the grounds are wet.
2. Cover and leave at room temperature or in the fridge for 12 hours.
3. Strain slowly through a sieve lined with a paper filter or muslin (or press the cafetière plunger).
4. To serve, fill a glass with ice and mix one part concentrate with one part water or milk. Taste and adjust.

Tips

• The concentrate keeps for about a week in the fridge; serve it black or with plant milk to keep it vegan.
• It is strong: a 1:1 glass holds about as much caffeine as a large coffee.
