Coffee Concentrate




Source of Recipe


Adapted from Cooking with Coffee by Carol Foster, & MFK Fisher






Recipe Introduction


Coffee concentrate is handy to have around and will keep for about 3-4 weeks. It's a bit messy to make, but the result is as good as you make in your coffee maker, sometimes better.










List of Ingredients



• 1/4 pound coffee, regular grind
  
• 2 cups cold water
  






Instructions



1. Put water and coffee in a quart glass jar and stir
   
2. Cover and chill for 24 to 48 hours
   
   
3. Strain through a coffee filter into a clean container; this will take a while
   
4. Stir up the grounds now and then, press them a few times, and squeeze as much liquid as you can out of the filter
   
5. Discard grounds
   
6. Store, covered, in the refrigerator
   
   
7. For hot coffee, add 2 tablespoons concentrate per 3/4 cup almost boiling water. Add a teaspoon more if it's not strong enough for you
   
   
8. For iced coffee, 2 tablespoons concentrate per 1/2 cup water and add ice
   






Final Comments


Makes about enough for 7 or 8 cups of coffee;
