Instructions
Grind whole coffee beans, OR use any previously ground coffee you have on hand
Place 1 cup coffee grounds in a covered bowl or pitcher. Cover with 6 cups cold water.
Stir up the grounds so they are all wet and mixed fairly well.
Let coffee grounds and water sit in the fridge for at least 8 hours (I usually let it sit for 12 hours).
Pour the coffee and grounds through a fine-mesh nut-milk bag or layered cheesecloth to separate the coffee from the grounds.
This coffee is concentrated a bit, so it's usually double strength. I prepare my cold brewed coffee this way: 1/2 cup coffee concentrate + 1/2 cup unsweetened almondmilk + Stevia drops.
To serve: mix with as much unsweetened non-dairy milk or creamer as you like. Since this is concentrated, I usually use equal parts cold brew coffee concentrate and almondmilk.
Enjoy!

Notes
If you need a slightly bigger batch of coffee, you can use 8 cups of water to 1 1/3 cups coffee grounds!For a giant batch, do 2 1/2 to 3 cups of coffee grounds for 1 gallon of water.For cold brewing with flavored coffee, the flavors will be stronger so start with 1/4 cup flavored coffee + 3/4 cup regular unflavored coffee. Adjust the ratios to suit your tastes.
