Cold-brewed coffee is really simple to make at home!

All you need is ground coffee, water, a jar, and a sieve.

You just add water to coffee, stir or shake, cover it, and leave it out on the counter overnight.

Slow brew coffee pulls all the coffee flavor from the beans while leaving behind most of the bitterness, giving you a smooth coffee!

It is perfect for iced coffee.

Also, by making your own cold brew coffee, you have complete control over how strong you make your coffee, so it’s always just right for you.

Personally, I love how this method of coffee allows me to make it ahead of time so I can have iced coffee on demand.

For oat milk, I recommend a full fat mild flavored oat milk. This way, your coffee is nice and creamy and doesn’t taste like oatmeal – unless you like your coffee tasting like oatmeal, that is.

Of course if you prefer a coffee creamer or half and half, you can use a dairy free coffee creamer or dairy free half and half.
