The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

I'm getting old and the morning coffee isn't doing anything for the crash after midday. It's also getting hot and I don't want an afternoon hot cup of coffee. I want to try making cold brew and it seems simple enough. Any tips?

So far I've seen 1:8 coffee to water recommended. 24 hours steeped and 2:1 water to concentrate. Sound ok? Any extra steps to make it twice as good?

You’re certainly on the right track. I only cold brew occasionally, but almost always use 1:6 coffee to water and dilute 1:2 afterward with either ice or hot water, depending on my preference. It’s also what I use when expecting overnight houseguests. Start with 1:8 or 1:6 and experiment thereupon if you feel up for it.

For an indulgent treat, add sweetened condensed milk!

ooooooh I can't be trusted around an open can of condensed milk.. I'll keep the suggestion in mind, sounds delicious. TY!
