Grind your coffee beans coarsely. If you don't have a grinder, you may ask to have your beans ground wherever your purchase them and many of the places would be able to do that for you.
Combine coffee and water in a jar. Stir well. Refrigerate for 18-24 hours.
After the time is up, line a fine mesh sieve with a cheesecloth or a reusable lint free towel (it may stain), set it over a bowl/jar large enough to hold your coffee and pour the coffee in you sieve. Do not rush the process and let the coffee strain slowly. Do not press down on it as you don't want to extract any of the bitterness. You may find yourself having to do this in batches.
Your cold brew is now done. Store it in a covered jar (ideally glass) in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
Fill your glass with ice. Add 1/2 cup of water (or milk) to it. Add 1/2 cup cold brew. Top with cream of choice to taste and optional vanilla.
The recipe here is for Cold Brew CONCENTRATE. Whether you dilute your coffee or not, as suggested above, just be aware of the higher caffeine content and exercise moderation!
