Hot humid summer days are here and there’s nothing more refreshing than a cup or two of Iced Cold-Brewed Coffee. I keep cold-brewed coffee concentrate in my fridge all summer long for a quick drink. It tastes so much better when made with freshly ground coffee beans given to you from Nicaragua and Nepal.

- 4 cups freshly ground coffee
- 1/3 cup vanilla
- Cold water to fill gallon jar
Combine coffee grounds and vanilla in a gallon glass jar. Fill with cold water. Allow the coffee to brew/steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Strain through a muslin cloth. Discard grounds. Refrigerate concentrate. To make iced coffee use 1 part concentrate, 1 part nut milk, 1 part ice, and sweetener of your choice.
This can also be brewed in a French Press using 1/2 of the recipe.
THM-S 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/4 cup nut milk, 1/4 cup cream, 6-8 ice cubes, sweetener of you choice.
THM-FP 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/2 cup nut milk, 6-8 ice cubes, 1 tablespoon THM collagen
I will freeze ice cube trays of concentrate to use to make frappes.
I will at times add 1 scoop THM Whey Protein powder to us this as a meal replacement when I am out for the day.
You can also blend the ice, coffee, cream/milk, sweetener together for a frappe. I made 10 gallons of concentrate to serve at our daughter’s wedding.

What method do you use for brewing the coffee that long? Can you describe the process? I have a keurig and am not sure what you mean by brewing it this long.
Thanks!
I added some extra wording to clarify the instructions.
For the cold brew, is that 1/3 cup of pure vanilla extract?
Yes, it is.
How do you strain the grounds? I don’t have a French press. Using a coffee filter is so slow!
If you stir the brewed coffee the grounds will usually sink to the bottom. I pour off as much of the liquid I can an the strain the ground through either a coffee filter or washable muslin cloth. It does take some time.
