Ratios, steeping steps, and recipes to get the most out of your cold brew concentrate.
Almost every cold brew recipe on this site builds on one base: a concentrate made at roughly 1 part coffee to 4 parts water by weight, steeped 12 to 24 hours, then diluted about 1:1 when you pour a glass. Get that base right and the rest is just what you add to it.
If you are brewing for the first time, read the step-by-step Toddy guide first, then the ratio guide for half and quarter batches. Grind matters more than most people expect, so a coarse, even grind (think coarse sea salt) is worth getting right before you change anything else.
Once you have a batch in the fridge, the iced coffee and concentrate recipes below show how to stretch it across a week of different drinks.
